The Land of My Boyhood Dreams
Alone in a great big city
I'm as lonesome as I can be
Far from the open spaces
And a home that is dear to me
Seems years since I left the prairies
Where coyotes roam at night
And howl while the stars are blinking
And the moon shines clear and bright
Take me out there where the cowboys
Sing in the campfire's gleam
Let me rest out in Texas
The land of my boyhood dreams
I'm getting so old and feeble
My days are nearly done
Oh, how I long for the prairies
Where the cattle and mustangs roam
Take me out there where the cowboys
Sing in the campfire's gleam
Let me rest out in Texas
The land of my boyhood dreams
I'm as lonesome as I can be
Far from the open spaces
And a home that is dear to me
Seems years since I left the prairies
Where coyotes roam at night
And howl while the stars are blinking
And the moon shines clear and bright
Take me out there where the cowboys
Sing in the campfire's gleam
Let me rest out in Texas
The land of my boyhood dreams
I'm getting so old and feeble
My days are nearly done
Oh, how I long for the prairies
Where the cattle and mustangs roam
Take me out there where the cowboys
Sing in the campfire's gleam
Let me rest out in Texas
The land of my boyhood dreams
