Well there's a special place in my memory
Where I keep the pictures of a time and place I left far behind
And I know the years have probably colored the way it really was back then
But still I like to take the memories out and look at 'em from time to time
There's a full moon tonight on the prarie, a memory just rode into view
A boy a buckskin and an ole spangler dawg, in the hills where the blue bonnets grew
Well I was deep in the heart of Texas just a kid bout thirteen at the time
Runnin' wild through the mesquite the cedars and cactus
It's been years but your still on my mind
No matter where I might wander there's a memory that I'll never lose
The Lonestar shines bright in my heart tonight I've got the blue bonnet blues
Well I remember those warm summer evenin's playin' out under the stars
Back then I never dreamed we'd be leavin'
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 might wander there's a memory that I'll never lose
Cause the Lonestar shines bright in my heart tonight I've got the blue bonnet blues
The Lonestar shines bright in my heart tonight I've got the blue bonnet blues
