Bound For Texas Lyrics & Chords By Matt Monro

...I'm tired of the city, of smoke stack and steel
I'm tired of the grind of the factory wheel
I'm spreadin' my wings and I'm ready to fly
To the land of the wide open sky
I'm bound for Texas
Bound for Texas
Bound for Texas land
To hear the moo and rattle
Of snakes and cattle
I'm bound for Texas land
I'll work on a ranch where there's plenty of sun
With my horse and my saddle, my rope and gun
I'll ride on the prairie, my face to the sky
And the rest of the world can go by
I'm bound for Texas
Bound for Texas
Bound for Texas land
To hear the moo and rattle
Of snakes and cattle
I'm bound for Texas land
I'll save up my money and look for a wife
A wife who'll be true and a pal for life
I'll build her a home and a room for a child
With the roses around growin' wild
I'm bound for Texas
Bound for Texas
Bound for Texas land
To hear the moo and rattle
Of snakes and cattle
I'm bound for Texas land
I'll sing her a song at the end of the day
A song that will drive all our cares away
I'll sing of the prairie, the blue starry skies
And the stars shining bright in her eyes
I'm bound for Texas
Bound for Texas
Bound for Texas land
To hear the moo and rattle
Of snakes and cattle
I'm bound for Texas land.
