Prairie Rose Lyrics

Roxy Music

(Ferry/Manzanera)

Texas That´s where I
Belong
It seems to me
Texas Lonesome star
Shine on
The big country
Texas With open skies
And you
For company
Texas Oh prairie rose
How happy
I should be
Hey hey You can take it from me
Hey hey I´ll be coming, you´ll see
Hey hey Oh what a state to be in
Hey hey You´re tantalising me
Texas I will compose
In fancy rhyme
Or just plain prose
Texas A song of praise
to you
Prairie rose
Texas Though I´m not sure
I can explain
Your strange allure
Texas Prairie rose -
A crown of thorns
A scented flower
Hey hey I´d better leave right away
Hey hey I can hear you calling me
Prairie rose
