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
