TEXAS HEARTACHE
(Chris Waters / Keith Stegall)


Juice Newton - 1980





I grew up in Texas, when I was seventeen
Gave my heart to a rodeo rider, best looking thing I'd seen
He took me far as Dalla,s I'd never been that far before
He told me that he loved me, but he loved his freedom more

There's a heartache deep in the heart o' Texas
There's a yellow rose witherin' on the vine
There's a heartache deep in the heart o' Texas
Oh, it takes more than a woman to change a cowboy's mind

So I went back to Houston, thinkin' he'd come home someday
But home is where your heart is and his is always miles away
Some heartaches you get over and some just a-grow with time
It takes a place as big as Texas to hold a heartache big as mine

There's a heartache deep in the heart o' Texas
There's a yellow rose witherin' on the vine
There's a heartache deep in the heart o' Texas
Oh, it takes more than a woman to change a cowboy's mind

There's a heartache deep in the heart o' Texas
There's a yellow rose witherin' on the vine
There's a heartache deep in the heart o' Texas
Oh, it'll take more than a woman to change a cowboy's mind

There's a heartache deep in the heart o' Texas
There's a yellow rose .......... FADE
