Texas Heartache

I grew up in Texas
When I was seventeen
I gave my heart to a rodeo rider
Best looking thing I'd seen

He took me as far as Dallas
I'd never been that far before
Told me that he loved me
But he loved freedom more

There's a heartache deep in the heart of Texas
There's a yellow rose withering on the vine
There's a heartache deep in the heart of Texas, oh
It takes more than a woman to change a cowboy's mind

So I went back to Houston
Thinking he'd come home someday
But home is where your heart is
And his is always miles away

Some heartaches you get over
But some just 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 of Texas
There's a yellow rose withering on the vine
There's a heartache deep in the heart of Texas, whoa
It takes more than a woman to change a cowboy's mind

There's a heartache deep in the heart of Texas
There's a yellow rose withering on the vine
There's a heartache deep in the heart of Texas, oh
It takes more than a woman to change a cowboy's mind

There's a heartache deep in the heart of Texas
There's a yellow rose withering on the vine
There's a heartache deep in the heart of Texas, oh
It takes more than a woman to change a cowboy's mind
