I grew up in Texas when I was 17I gave my heart to a rodeo riderBest looking thing I'd seenHe took me as far as DallasI'd never been that far beforeHe told me that he loved meBut he loved his freedom moreThere's a heartache deep in the heart of TexasThere's a yellow rose withering on the vineThere's a heartache deep in the heart of TexasOh, it takes more than a womanTo change a cowboy's mindSo I went back to HoustonThinking he'd come home somedayHome is where your heart isAnd his is always miles awaySome heartaches you'll get overBut some just to go with timeIt takes a place as big as TexasTo hold a heartache big as mineThere's a heartache deep in the heart of TexasThere's a yellow rose withering on the vineThere's a heartache deep in the heart of TexasOh, it takes more than a womanTo change a cowboy's mindThere's a heartache deep in the heart of TexasThere's a yellow rose withering on the vineThere's a heartache deep in the heart of TexasOh, it takes more than a womanTo change a cowboy's mindThere's a heartache deep in the heart of TexasThere's a yellow rose withering on the vineThere's a heartache deep in the heart of Texas
