Lyrics Big Country

Big Country

Prairie Rose

Texas oh that's where I

Belong

It seems to me

Lonesome star

Shine on

The big country

With open skies

And you

For company

Oh prairie rose

How happy

I should be

Hey hey you can take it from me

Hey hey I'll be calling, you'll see

Hey hey oh what a state to be in

Hey hey you're tantalizing me

Texas I will compose

In fancy rhyme

Or just plain prose

A song of praise

To you

My prairie rose

Though I'm not sure

I can explain

Your strange allure

Oh prairie rose

A crown of thorns

A scented flower

Hey hey you can take it from me

Hey hey I'll be calling, you'll see

Hey hey I'd better leave right away

Hey hey I can hear you calling me

Hey hey Prairie rose [Repeat: x3]

Hey hey

I hear your voice

And it keeps me

From sleeping

Prairie rose

Hey hey Prairie rose [Repeat: x5]
