Leavin' Texas

(album: A Man Must Carry On - 1977)

Texas this morning the sounds they just sing to me
I feel alive again and with every footstep that's setting me free
Hey, old friends
Keep alive the good times we've had in those rolling
Rolling 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 keeping on
Just like that morning star, that's ahead of me
I keep shining 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 moving right, so movin's right
Still I can't deny that old loneliness that comes sometimes
But every mile and footstep going down
Ain't no way a man keeps a count
You just never forget that lonely stretch
Where you keep on for keeping on
