I'm going back to Texas, I'm going back where I belong
I'm going back to Texas darlin', I'm going back where I belong
Back to that lone star state, it's the home of the Alamo
There's a little town called Kingsville, way down by the gulf of Mexico
Ya, there's a little town called Kingsville, way down by the gulf of Mexico
I'm going back down to that sleepy town, it's the only home I know
I was born on the Big King Ranch, at least that's what I've been told
Ya, I was born on the Big King Ranch, at least that's what I've been told
I'm going back down to Texas darlin', baby don't you want to go
I went out to California, tried to find my way around
I went out to California, tried to find my way around
But it's been a lonely lonely road, not a good friend have I found
I went up to Hollywood, tried to find my fortune and fame
I went up to Hollywood, tried to find my fortune and fame
But I'm packing my bags and I'm headed south, not a fool here knows my name
That's why I'm going back to Texas, I'm going back where I belong
Ya, I'm going back to Texas, I'm going back where I belong
Back to that lone star state, baby don't you want to go?
