I'm tired of the city, of smoke stack and steel
I'm tired of the grind of the factory wheel
I'm spreadin' my wings and I'm ready to fly
To the land of the wide open sky

I'm bound for Texas
Bound for Texas, bound for Texas land
To hear the moo and rattle of snakes and cattle
I'm bound for Texas land

I'll save up my money and look for a wife
A wife who'll be true and a pal for life
I'll build her a home and a room for a child
With the roses around growin' wild

I'm bound for Texas
Bound for Texas, bound for Texas land
To hear the moo and rattle of snakes and cattle
I'm bound for Texas land

I'll sing her a song at the end of the day
A song that will drive all our cares away
I'll sing of the prairie, the blue starry skies
And the stars shining bright in her eyes

I'm bound for Texas
Bound for Texas, bound for Texas land
To hear the moo and rattle of snakes and cattle
I'm bound for Texas land
