I grew up in Texas when I was 17
I gave my heart to a rodeo rider
Best looking thing I'd seen
He took me as far as Dallas
I'd never been that far before
He told me that he loved me
But he loved his freedom more
There's a heartache deep in the heart of Texas
There's a yellow rose withering on the vine
There's a heartache deep in the heart of Texas
Oh, it takes more than a woman
To change a cowboy's mind
So I went back to Houston
Thinking he'd come home someday
Home is where your heart is
And his is always miles away
Some heartaches you'll get over
But some just to go with time
It takes a place as big as Texas
To hold a heartache big as mine
There's a heartache deep in the heart of Texas
There's a yellow rose withering on the vine
There's a heartache deep in the heart of Texas
Oh, it takes more than a woman
To change a cowboy's mind
There's a heartache deep in the heart of Texas
There's a yellow rose withering on the vine
There's a heartache deep in the heart of Texas
Oh, it takes more than a woman
To change a cowboy's mind
There's a heartache deep in the heart of Texas
There's a yellow rose withering on the vine
There's a heartache deep in the heart of Texas
