lyrics

LONE STAR
By Dan Blakeslee
03/17/14
written in New Orleans

Stuck down here no fault but my own,
Like a coyote on the prarie howlin' alone.
My hearts still beating... pickin' up the pace.

Haven't got a dollar to fix my heal,
Ain't had no sleep I need a good meal.
I'm a lone star in the state of Texas.

Glad to be here, the honky ton the southern charm.
Felt like I was sinkin' when you offered me your tattooed arms.

My strings a twangin' full of faith and hope.
Got a careful eye who's holdin' the rope.
Watchin some get branded... me I don't like the heat!

Tryin' for the radio but it's hard to get heard,
Through the rodeo and stampede I can't get a word.
Just a lone star in the state of Texas.

Glad to be here, the honky ton the southern charm.
Felt like I was sinkin' when you offered me your tattooed arms.

Thanks to my beautiful friend for takin' me in.
Before I run out of luck I'll run to see you again.
