I won't rest easy until I know you're safe and sound
Be sure to call me just as soon as you touch down
Your plane is waiting, have a good flight
and remember this one thing before we say goodbye

When you see that moon over Texas think of me
Because I'll be missing you under that same moon, here in Tennessee 
If I can't hold you in my arms, I'm gonna hold you in my dreams 
Have a big Ole time in Texas, just come home, to Tennessee 

It won't be long and you'll be outta sight
You'll be back in Houston before the sun goes down tonight
Tell your Mama I said hello 
And remember that I love you no matter where you go

When you see that moon over Texas think of me
Because I'll be missing you under that same moon, here in Tennessee 
If I can't hold you in my arms, I'm gonna hold you in my dreams 
Have a big Ole time in Texas, just come home, to Tennessee 

One more night and you'll be back with me 
And you and I are gonna make lover's history 
Your mama's gonna miss you but she'll be fine, you'll see 
Just hold her close and tell her when you go

When you see that moon over Texas think of me
Because I'll be missing you under that same moon, here in Tennessee 
If I can't hold you in my arms, I'm gonna hold you in my dreams 
Have a big Ole time in Texas, just come home, to Tennessee 

Hello, how was Texas, welcome home to Tennessee
