Big Country — Prairie Rose lyrics

Lyrics

Texas Oh that’s where I Belong
It seems to me Lonesome star
Shine on The big country
With open skies
And you
For company
Oh prairie rose
How happy
I should be Hey hey You can take it from me Hey hey I’ll be calling, you’ll see
Hey hey Oh what a state to be in
Hey hey You’re tantalizing me Texas I will compose
In fancy rhyme
Or just plain prose
A song of praise
To you
My prairie rose
Though I’m not sure
I can explain
Your strange allure
Oh prairie rose —
A crown of thorns
A scented flower
Hey hey You can take it from me Hey hey I’ll be calling, you’ll see
Hey hey I’d better leave right away
Hey hey I can hear you calling me Hey hey Prairie rose (3 times)
Hey hey
I hear your voice
And it keeps me From sleeping
Prairie rose
Hey hey Prairie rose (five times, fading out)
