Lyrics

Sandy: Wish I was back in Texas

The ocean's no place for a squirrel

Wish I was in Texas

Prettiest place in the world, oh no

I guess that deep in my heart

I'll always be a Texas girl

I wanna go ho-o-ome, home

Yodel-ay-ee-oh, yodel-ay-ee-oh, Yodel-ay-ee-oh, lay-ee, lay-ee.

I wanna wake up in Texas

I miss those wide open skies

I miss my 20 acres, barbecues

And pecan pies, oh why?

When I'm so far from you, Texas, all I can do is cry

Yodel-ay-ee-oh, Yodel-ay-ee-oh, Yodel-ay-ee-oh, a-lay-ee, a-lay-ee.

I wanna go ho-o-ome

[off-screen] I wanna go home
