Asleep At The Wheel
"Boogie Back To Texas" lyrics

Boogie Back To Texas

Been gone so long
I can't wait to get back home
Home to the Lone Star State
Another day I just can't wait
Look out boys
I'm headed your way
I got a mind that wanders
In a '57 Chevrolet
Hold on tight
I got a licence to fly
With the pedal to the metal
Watch me roll on by

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

Rolling out a New York
Philadelphia, PA
Pittsburg wheeling
West Virginia 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 a homeward bound
Gonna boogie back to Austin
Back to my hometown

Boogie back to Texas
Boogie back to Texas
Boogie back to Texas
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's just a memory
Forth Worth, Dallas, I roll on by
Waco now less than 50 miles
Clear the roads
I'm heading that way
Gonna boogie back to Austin
Across the U S of A

Boogie back to Texas
Boogie back to Texas
Boogie back to Texas
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
