Texas Plains - Don Edwards

Every night in my dreams somehow it seems

That I’m back where I belong

I’m just a cow hen from Rio Grande

Back where I was born

Now the city lights and the city ways

They’re drivin' me insane

I wanna be alone I wanna be back home

Back on the Texas plains

I wanna drink my java from an old tin can

While the moon comes shinin' high

I wanna hear the call of a whippoorwill

I wanna hear a coyote cry

I wanna feel my saddle horse between my legs

Riding him out on the range

Just to kick him in the sides make him show his step and pride

Back on the Texas plains

I wanna hear the thunder as it booms and rolls

I wanna feel the rain in my face

Just a thousand miles from the city lights

Drawin' a cowboy ways

I wanna sleep at night beneath the stars above

While the moon goes climbin' high

I wanna cook my coffee over cactus coves

Fifty miles from town

Out on the Texas plains
