[Verse: Gene and All]The stars at nightAre big and brightDeep in the heart of TexasThe prairie skyIs wide and highDeep in the heart of TexasThe coyotes wailAlong the trailDeep in the heart of TexasThe rabbits rushAround the brushDeep in the heart of Texas[Instrumental break][Verse: Gene and All]The chicken hocksAre full of squawksDeep in the heart of TexasThe oil wellsAre full of smellsDeep in the heart of TexasThe cactus plantsAre tough on pantsDeep in the heart of TexasThat's why perhapsThey all wear chapsDeep in the heart of Texas[Instrumental break][Verse: Gene and All]The cowboys cry"Ka-yippie aye!" (Woo-hoo!)Deep in the heart of TexasThe doggies bawlAnd say "you all"Deep in the heart of TexasThe cactus plantsAre tough on pantsDeep in the heart of TexasThat's why perhapsThey all wear chapsDeep in the heart of Texas
