Lyrics
The stars at night
Are big and bright
Deep in the heart of Texas
The prairie sky
Is wide and high
Deep in the heart of Texas
The coyotes wail
Along the trail
Deep in the heart of Texas
The rabbits rush
Around the brush
Deep in the heart of Texas
The chicken hocks
Are full of squawks
Deep in the heart of Texas
The oil wells
Are full of smells
Deep in the heart of Texas
The cactus plants
Are tough on pants
Deep in the heart of Texas
That's why perhaps
They all wear chaps
Deep in the heart of Texas
The cowboys cry
"Ka-yippie aye!" (Woo-hoo!)
Deep in the heart of Texas
The doggies bawl
And say "you all"
Deep in the heart of Texas
The cactus plants
Are tough on pants
Deep in the heart of Texas
That's why perhaps
They all wear chaps
Deep in the heart of Texas
