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
( From: http://www.elyrics.net )
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
