 There's a full moon tonight, on the prairie, a memory just rode into view

 Of a boy, a buckskin, and an ole Spaniel dog, in the hills where the bluebonnets 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

Chorus

No matter where I might wander

 There's a memory that I'll never lose

 The Lone Star shines bright, in my heart tonight

 And I've got the bluebonnet blues

I remember those warm summer's evenin's, playin' out under the stars

Back then I never dreamed we'd ever be leavin', aw, but I guess things just don't stay

as they are

Well the years and the miles came between us, but tonight 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

Chorus

The Lone Star shines bright in my heart tonight

I've got the blue bonnet blues
