Prairie Rose
Roxy Music
1974
Texas
Oh that’s where I
Belong
It seems to me
Texas
Lonesome star
Shine on
The big country
Texas
With open skies
And you
For company
Texas
Oh prairie rose
How happy
I should be
Hey hey
You can take it from me
Hey hey
I’ll be coming, you’ll see
Hey hey
Oh what a state to be in
Hey hey
You’re tantalising me
Texas
I will compose
In fancy rhyme
Or just plain prose
Texas
A song of praise
To you
Prairie rose
Texas
Though I’m not sure
I can explain
Your strange allure
Texas
Oh prairie rose
A crown of thorns
A scented flower
Hey hey
I’d better leave right away
Hey hey
I can hear you calling me
