Well, I'll tell you folks one thing

Hope you'll understand

I've travelled from the far side to the near side of this land

And I've seen it all roll out from my windshield and then

So I'm going back to Texas

As fast as I can

[Chorus]

Some say home is where the heart is

It ain't no piece of land

I say home is the heart of Texas

Just south of Austin

Now I'll be driving that old wreck

Doin' a hundred and eleven

Because Texas is the last stop

Before I get to hеaven

Well I've been around thе Great lakes

And over to New England

Didn't see too many cowboy hats

Didn't hear many "Thank you, Ma'ams"

And I've been up around the Northwest

Where those trees are big and tall

But it always made me so sad

Not to hear the folks say "y'all"

(Y'all)

[Chorus]

Some say home is where the heart is

It ain't no piece of land

I say home is the heart of Texas

Just south of Austin

Now I'll be driving that old wreck

Doin' a hundred and eleven

Because Texas is the last stop

Before I get to heaven

Come on, [?]

[?]

Ooo-hei, smell that mesquite darling

Ooo-hei, smell that barbecue

Those cotton wood tress

And those cicadas singing

They're all waiting just to greet you

Well, I've ever been to Paris

And although it was great

If I'm going back to Paris

It's the one in the Lone Star State

'Cause I'd only miss those honky-tonks

Friendly folks, and women

Yeah I'm going back to Texas

As fast as I can

(Here I come)

[Chorus]

Some say home is where the heart is

It ain't no piece of land

I say home is the heart of Texas

Just south of Austin

Now I'll be driving that old wreck

Doin' a hundred and eleven

Because Texas is the last stop

Before I get to heaven [x2]
