"Leavin' Texas" lyrics

"Leavin' Texas"

Texas this morning the sounds they just sing to me
I feel alive again and with every footstep that's settin' me free
Hey, old friends
Keep alive the good times we've had in those rollin'
Rollin' hills
They will always be a part of me
Whenever I think of Texas memories

Oh Texas, I'm just a little lost but I'm keepin' on
Just like that morning star, that's ahead of me
I keep shinin' on
Till I make it to the borders of the Rio Grande
There I'll catch me one last sunset 'cross the prairie

Well, everything is movin' right, so movin's right
Still I can't deny that old loneliness that comes sometimes
But every mile and footstep goin' down
Ain't no way a man keeps a count
You just never forget that lonely stretch
Where you keep on for keepin' on
