Lyrics[]

Sandy: Wish I was back in Texas
The ocean's no place for a squirrel
Wish I was in Texas
Prettiest place in the world, oh no
I guess that deep in my heart
I'll always be a Texas girl
I wanna go ho-o-ome, home
Yodel-ay-ee-oh, yodel-ay-ee-oh, Yodel-ay-ee-oh, lay-ee, lay-ee.
I wanna wake up in Texas
I miss those wide open skies
I miss my 20 acres, barbecues
And pecan pies, oh why?
When I'm so far from you, Texas, all I can do is cry
Yodel-ay-ee-oh, Yodel-ay-ee-oh, Yodel-ay-ee-oh, a-lay-ee, a-lay-ee.
I wanna go ho-o-ome
[off-screen] I wanna go home
