From the recording El Camino Real
Lyrics
DEEP IN THE HEART
A boy goes there to be a man
He takes his dreams by the hand
Leaves a dark and weary place
For the heat of some Texas space
Deep in
Down in
Deep down in the heart of Texas
Tears they fall and pour like rain
Salts the earth and heals the pain
Great gains made in the pursuit of love
Good friends here and peace above, peace above
Deep in
Down in
Deep down in the heart of Texas
It took me ten years just to realize
That in three years I lived a lifetime
It doesn’t matter wherever I may roam
My heart will always find a home, whoa
Deep in
Down in
Deep down in the heart
In the heart of Texas
Hey, yea, yea, yeah
The stars are bright are in the sky tonight, yeah
Deep down in heart
The heart of Texas
