you mean this one?


GOING BACK TO TEXAS


          Started out from Texas about a year ago
          Started out to make myself a name
          Going back to Texas for my heart is sad and sore
          My weary feet are getting mighty lame


    Going back to my good old Texas home, home, home
    Down by the sleepy Rio Grande
    Where the lonesome turtledove is grieving
    And the moon is shining on the sand

    Going back where the longhorn cattle roam, roam, roam
    Where your best friend is your bronco and your gun
    And I know I'll never more be leaving
    Texas home, my rambling days are done


          Give me back my saddle, give me back my gun
          Give me back that good old bronc of mine
          Give me back the campfires when the day is gone
          Let me hear a lonesome coyote whine


    Going back to my good old Texas home, home, home
    Down by the sleepy Rio Grande
    Where the lonesome turtledove is grieving
    And the moon is shining on the sand

    Going back where the longhorn cattle roam, roam, roam
    Where your best friend is your bronco and your gun
    And I know I'll never more be leaving
    Texas home, my rambling days are done
