Well there's a special place in my memory
Where I keep the pictures of a time an' place I left far behind
An' I know the years have
Probably colored the way it really was back then
But still I like to take the memories out
An' look at 'em from time to time
There's a full moon t'night on the prarie
A memory just rode into view
A boy a buckskin and an old spangler dawg
In the hills where the blue bonnets grew
Well I was deep in the heart of texas
Just a kid 'bout 13 at the time
Runnin' wild through the mesquite
The cedars and cactus
It's been years but your still on my mind
No matter where I might wander
There's a memeory that I'll never lose
The lonestar shines bright
In my heart tonight
I've got the blue bonnet blues
Well I remember those warm summer evenin's
Playin' out under the stars
Back then I never dreamed we'd be leavin'
But I guess things just don't stay as they are
Well the years and the miles came between us
But t'night as I'm dreamin' of you
Once again I'm a kid
In the sweet arms of texas
And I've got the blue bonnet blues
No matter where I might wander
There's a memory that I'll never lose
'Cause the lonestar shines bright in my heart t'night
I've got the blue bonnet blues
The lonestar shines bright in my heart t'night
I've got the blue bonnet blues
