Chorus:
C majorC G7G7
When it's roundup time in Texas and the bloom is on the sage,
G7G7 C majorC
How I long to be in Texas back a-ridin' on the range;
E7E7 A minorAm E7E7 A minorAm
Just to smell the bacon fryin' when it's sizzlin' in the pan,
D7D7 G7G7
Hear the breakfast horn in the early morn drinkin' coffee from a can;
C majorC G7G7
Just a-ridin' rockin' ropin' bound to leather all day long,
G7G7 G7G7 E7E7
Just a-swayin' sweatin' swearin' listenin’ to a cowhand's song;
A7A7 D7D7
How it beckons and I reckon I would work for any wage,
C majorC FF G7G7 C majorC
To be free again just to be again where the bloom is on the sage.

Seen anyplace that I would rather be;
