Under the open skies deep in the heart of Texas

The sun shines down on the cotton field

As the clouds roll by across the sky

Carry my love to the Rio Grande

Please send my echo floating down through the canyon

Maybe she will hear my call

I'll be there soon I'll bring the moon

On a string of stars just for you

I miss the one I call my own why did I leave her alone

Two days more on this lonesome ride

Then she'll be riding by my side

Under the open sky deep in the heart of Texas

I can almost hear her calling me



I miss the one I call my own,why did I leave her alone?

Two days more on this lonely ride then she'll be riding by my side

Under the open sky,deep in the heart of Texas

The sun shines down on the cotton field

As the clouds roll on by across the sky

Carry my love to the Rio Grande
