[Verse]
C D7
Down in my dreams somehow it seems that I'm back where I belong
G7 C
Just a country hick way down in the sticks back where I was born
D7
All the city lights and the city ways are driving me insane
G7 C
I wanna be alone I wanna be back home out on the Texas plains
 
D7
I wanna drink my java from an old tin can while the moon comes shining high
G7 C
I wanna hear the call of a whippoorwill I wanna hear a coyote whine
D7
I wanna feel my saddle horse between my legs just riding him out on the range
G7
Just to kick him in the sides let him show his step and pride
C
Out on the Texas plains
 
D7
I wanna hear the thunder as it goes and rolls I wanna feel the rain in my face
G7 C
Just a thousand miles from the city lights living a cowboy ways
D7
I wanna sleep at night beneath the stars above with that whole moon shining down
G7 C
I wanna cook my grub over cactus coals fifty miles from town
 
D7
Sometime soon I'm going back back where the skies are blue
G7 C
In a little hut just built for two back where my dreams come true
 
Well I'm tired of subways and the forty story shacks
D7
I'm trading the wide open range
G7 C
I wanna go back please take me back out on the Texas plains
