"Blue Bonnet Blues" lyrics - CHRIS LEDOUX

Well, there's a special place in my memory
Where I keep the pictures of a time an' place I left far behind
An' I know the years have probably colored the way it really was back then
But still...I like to take the memories out an' look at 'em from time to time
There's a full moon t'night, on the prarie, a memory just rode into view
A boy, a buckskin, an' an ole spangler dawg, in the hills where the blue bonnets 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
No matter where I might wander, there's a memeory that I'll never lose
The Lonestar shines bright, in my heart tonight...
I've got the blue bonnet blues...
Well I remember those warm summer evenin's, playin' out under the stars
Back then I never dreamed we'd be leavin', but I guess things just don't stay as they are
Well the years and the miles came between us, but t'night 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
No matter where I might wander, there's a memory that I'll never lose
'Cause the Lonestar shines bright in my heart t'night
I've got the blue bonnet blues...
The Lonestar shines bright in my heart t'night...
I've got the blue bonnet blues...
