Leavin' Texas Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Texas this morning the sounds they just sing to me 

I feel alive again and with every footstep that's settin me free 

Hey old friends, 

keep alive the good times we've had in those rollin', 

rollin' hills 

They will always be a part of me 

whenever I think of Texas memories 

CHORUS 

Oh Texas I'm just a little lost but I'm keepin' on, 

Just like that morning star, that's ahead of me, 

I keep shinin' on 

'til I make it to the borders of the Rio Grande 

There I'll catch me one last sunset 'cross the prairie 

Well everything is movin right, so movin's right 

Still I can't deny that old loneliness that comes sometimes 

But every mile and footstep goin' down 

Ain't no way a man keeps a count, 

you just never forget that lonely stretch 

where you keep on for keepin on 

CHORUS x 2
