Home Is Where the Heart Is
The State in which I was born is “Home”
It’s huge and all over it I’ve roamed
Born in Big “D”, so that’s where it starts
Then moved up to the panhandle parts
Moved East to rose capital city
Love this town, it’s extremely pretty
I attended John Tyler High School
It’s my “Home Town” and I think it’s cool
Attended college in Aggieland
South in College Station, not too grand
Fort Bliss, way out West, for Army time
And then I left my “Home”, what a crime
A job with Boeing in Seattle
Into the traffic, what a battle
You can take the Boy out of “Texas”
You can’t take “Texas” out of the Boy
