| There’s a full moon tonight on the prairie |
| And a memory just rode into view |
| Of a boy, a buckskin, and an ol' spangler dawg |
| In the hills where the blue bonnets grew |
| Well, I was deep in the heart of Texas |
| Just a kid 'bout 13 at the time |
| Runnin' wild through the mesquite, the cedars and cactus |
| It’s been years, but you’re still on my mind |
| No matter where I may wander |
| There’s a memory that I’ll never lose |
| The lone star shines bright in my heart tonight |
| And I’ve got the blue bonnet blues |
| I remember those warm summer’s evenin’s |
| Playin' out under the stars |
| Back then I never dreamed we’d ever be leavin' |
| Oh, but I guess things just don’t stay as they are |
| Well, the years and the miles came between us |
| But tonight as I’m dreamin' of you |
| Once again, I’m a kid in the sweet arms of Texas |
| And I’ve got the blue bonnet blues |
| No matter where I may wander |
| There’s a memory that I’ll never lose |
| The lone star shines bright in my heart tonight |
| And I’ve got the blue bonnet blues |
| The lone star shines bright in my heart tonight |
| And I’ve got the blue bonnet blues |
