Chorus I'm on my way to Italy from the golf of Mexico Riding on a tanker, and feeling mighty low My good gals behind me, no lovin' for so long I'm going back to Texas, cause that's where i belong Nights are so lonely on the ocean There's to much time to dream of yesterday If i could only carry out my notion Id hit the trail for Texas right away repeat chorus I never thaut when I was leavin' I could get so blue out on the sea But i'll bet you after all this grievin' It's that good ol Texas soil for me reapeat chorus
