Chris Ledoux - Blue Bonnet Blues Lyrics

There's a full moon tonight on the prairie
And a memory just rode into view
Of a boy, a buckskin, and an ol' 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 you're still on my mind

No matter where I may wander
There's a memory that I'll never lose
The lone star shines bright in my heart tonight
And I've got the blue bonnet blues

I remember those warm summer's evenin's
Playin' out under the stars
Back then I never dreamed we'd ever be leavin'
Oh, but I guess things just don't stay as they are

Well, the years and the miles came between us
But tonight 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 may wander
There's a memory that I'll never lose
The lone star shines bright in my heart tonight
And I've got the blue bonnet blues

The lone star shines bright in my heart tonight
And I've got the blue bonnet blues
