Texas Cannonball (Larry W. Jones 10/24/2007) (song#5107)

I’m a-rollin’ back to Texas
It’s the big Lone Star State for me
Where pecan trees grow and the oil wells flow
Texas is home sweet home to me
Good folks there will meet you and then greet you
With a great big loud Howdy Y’all
I say I’m blessed cause I’m a-rollin’ west

On the fast Texas Cannonball
On the Texas Cannonball, Texas Cannonball
Just listen as the whistle calls out Howdy Y’all
I know there’s a cowgirl waitin’
And she’s the fairest of them all
I say I’m blessed cause I’m a-rollin’ west
On the fast Texas Cannonball

– instrumental –

Now, when I cross that old Sabine
I’ll see miles and miles of Texas
It’s the best state I’ve ever seen
Just put my name where the X is

On the Texas Cannonball, Texas Cannonball
Just listen as the whistle calls out Howdy Y’all
I know there’s a cowgirl waitin’
And she’s the fairest of them all
I say I’m blessed cause I’m a-rollin’ west
On the fast Texas Cannonball
