Lyrics to Prairie Rose

Lyrics to the song Prairie Rose as recorded by Roxy Music.

(Ferry/Manzanera)

(Texas) Oh that's where I belong it seems to me
(Texas) Lonesome star shine on the big country
(Texas) With your open skies and you for company
(Texas) Oh prairie rose, how happy I should be

Hey, hey, You can take it from me
Hey, hey, I'll be coming, you'll see
Hey, hey, Oh what a state to be in
Hey, hey, You're tantalizing me

(Texas) I will compose in fancy rhyme or just plain prose
(Texas) A song of praise to you, prairie rose
(Texas) Though I'm not sure I can explain your strange allure
(Texas) Oh prairie rose, a crown of thorns, a scented flower

Hey, hey, I'd better leave right away
Hey, hey, I can hear you calling me
Hey, hey, Prairie rose
Hey, hey, Prairie rose
Hey, hey, Prairie rose
Hey, hey, Prairie rose
Hey, hey, Prairie rose
Hey, hey, Prairie rose
Hey, hey, Prairie rose
Hey, hey, Prairie rose
Hey, hey, Prairie rose
Hey, hey, Prairie rose
Hey, hey, Prairie rose
