Lyrics
[verse]
Down along the river where the bluebonnets grow,
There's a girl I'm going back to see, and everyone should know.
She's the prettiest thing this side of any southern town,
And when I see her waiting there, I'll never let her down.
[chorus]
She's the golden flower of the Texas plain,
Brighter than the sunshine after summer rain.
No other girl could ever steal my heart away —
I'm coming home to Texas, I'm coming home to stay.
[verse]
I've been riding since the morning, dust upon my boots,
Thinking of her laughter and her honeyed southern roots.
Every mile I'm closer, every star shines just for me,
Guiding this old traveler home to where he wants to be.
[chorus]
She's the golden flower of the Texas plain,
Brighter than the sunshine after summer rain.
No other girl could ever steal my heart away —
I'm coming home to Texas, I'm coming home to stay.
[bridge]
Play the fiddle louder, boys, the night is turning gold,
Tell the whole prairie the sweetest tale ever told.
When I finally reach her, I'll swing her round and round,
And there won't be a happier man in all of this town.
[chorus]
She's the golden flower of the Texas plain,
Brighter than the sunshine after summer rain.
No other girl could ever steal my heart away —
I'm coming home to Texas, I'm coming home to stay.
