Juice Newton Texas Heartache song lyrics

I grew up in Texas

When I was seventeen

Gave my heart to a rodeo rider

Best lookin' thing I've ever seen

He took me far as Dallas

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 of Texas

There's a yellow rose witherin' 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

Thinkin' he'd come home someday

But home is where your heart is

And his is always away

Some heartaches you get over

Some just grow with time

And 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 witherin' 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
