Way Out West in Texas Lyrics

Way out west in Texas, that′s where I long to be

Ridin' on the prairie with a good horse under me

Three long years I′ve bummed around, my heart is sad and blue
I'm a goin' back to the wooly west where your friends are always true
Way out west in Texas, where the atmosphere is light
You roll up in your blanket on the prairie every night
Where the rattlesnakes and old horned toads sleep right by your side
On the desert sands of Texas, that′s where I long to ride
Way out west in Texas, around the old campfire
We sing the songs of long ago and strum on my guitar
My heart is ever yearning and I know I′ll be there soon
I'll settle down in Texas when the cactus is in bloom

Way out west in Texas, when they round up in the spring
You′ll hear me sing this little song while ridin' on the range
Your Broadway lights appeal to you but moonlight suits me fine
We′ll settle down in Texas and I'll leave my blues behind

Dee-oh-dee-lay-ee, oh-dee-lay-ee, oh-
Dee-lay-ee, oh-dee-lay-ee, hee, hee
Yodel-ee-hee, hee, hee, hee
