Lyrics Leavin' Texas - Jerry Jeff Walker

Leavin' Texas

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
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
