I've gone through Arizona, right through New Mexico
I'm gonna keep on driving just as hard as I can go
I'm an Interstate daddy
Taking my lonely heart back home
I'm going back to Texas
Back to the only gal I've ever known


That Lone Star spirit is right here by my side
When I cross through old El Paso my heart will fill with pride
Ain't gonna stop for nothing
Till I see the lights of San Antone
I'm going back to Texas
Back to the only love I've ever known


I'm going back to Texas, that's how it's gonna stay
Back to my old stomping grounds and the joints I used to play
And when I get back home
Lord, I know I'll never be alone
I'm going back to Texas
Back to the only gal I've ever known
