Been gone so long
I can't wait to get back home
Home to the Long Star State
Another day I just can't wait
Look out boys I'm a headed your way
I got a mind that wanders and a '57 Chevrolet
Hold on tight I got a license to fly
With the pedal to the metal, watch me roll on bye

While I boogie back to Texas
We're 'gonna boogie back to Texas
Eight beats to the mile

Rolling out of New York, Philadelphia, PA. Pittsburg,
Wheeling on the way
Rolling through Ohio, gonna make it to Kentucky,
‘gonna make it by the morning
If I'm fast and If I'm lucky
Hold on tight I'm homeward bound
I'm gonna boogie back to Austin
Back to my hometown

While I boogie back to Texas
We're 'gonna boogie back to Texas
Eight beats to the mile

I finally see the state line staring at me
Oklahoma City is just a memory
Ft. Worth, Dallas, drove on by
Waco now less than 50 miles
Yellow Rose I'm headed that way
I’m gonna boogie back to Austin cross the US of A

While I boogie back to Texas
We're 'gonna boogie back to Texas
Eight beats to the mile

We're gonna boogie back to Texas eight beats to the mile
Can't you see I'm on my way-boogie
