Well, I'll tell you folks one thing
Hope you'll understand
I've travelled from the far side to the near side of this land
And I've seen it all roll out from my windshield and then
So I'm going back to Texas
As fast as I can

[Chorus]
Some say home is where the heart is
It ain't no piece of land
I say home is the heart of Texas
Just south of Austin
Now I'll be driving that old wreck
Doin' a hundred and eleven
Because Texas is the last stop
Before I get to hеaven

Well I've been around thе Great lakes
And over to New England
Didn't see too many cowboy hats
Didn't hear many "Thank you, Ma'ams"
And I've been up around the Northwest
Where those trees are big and tall
But it always made me so sad
Not to hear the folks say "y'all"
(Y'all)
[Chorus]
Some say home is where the heart is
It ain't no piece of land
I say home is the heart of Texas
Just south of Austin
Now I'll be driving that old wreck
Doin' a hundred and eleven
Because Texas is the last stop
Before I get to heaven

Come on, [?]
[?]
Ooo-hei, smell that mesquite darling
Ooo-hei, smell that barbecue
Those cotton wood tress
And those cicadas singing
They're all waiting just to greet you

Well, I've ever been to Paris
And although it was great
If I'm going back to Paris
It's the one in the Lone Star State
'Cause I'd only miss those honky-tonks
Friendly folks, and women
Yeah I'm going back to Texas
As fast as I can
(Here I come)
[Chorus]
Some say home is where the heart is
It ain't no piece of land
I say home is the heart of Texas
Just south of Austin
Now I'll be driving that old wreck
Doin' a hundred and eleven

Because Texas is the last stop
Before I get to heaven [x2]
