Intro: C F G7 C
C G7
When it's roundup time in Texas and the bloom is on the sage,
G7 C
How I long to be in Texas back a-ridin' on the range;
E7 Am E7 Am
Just to smell the bacon fryin' when it's sizzlin' in the pan,
D7 G7
Hear the breakfast horn in the early morn drinkin' coffee from a can;
C G7
Just a-ridin' rockin' ropin' bound to leather all day long,
G7 G7 E7
Just a-swayin' sweatin' swearin' listenin’ to a cowhand's song;
A7 D7
How it beckons and I reckon I would work for any wage,
C F G7 C
To be free again just to be again where the bloom is on the sage.
Verso 1:
G7 C
To most folks there's a spot that lives forever,
G7 C C7
Deep down within their fondest memories,
F Fm C Am
Though I have been a rover I have never,
D7 G7
Seen anyplace that I would rather be;
