Lonely in the Lone Star

There's no shooting stars over San Antone
At least none that are worth wishing on
Got a stack of letters and the full moon as a reading light
Sure is lonely in the lone star tonight

There's a picture on our wall, they took of you at Lackland
And my old phone number you wrote on a Rosario's napkin
This ole quarter karat still shining bright
Sure is lonely in the lone star tonight

This heavy heart, I'm on my knees with it
There's no prayer I know to make peace with it

All the somedays, the dreams, yeah the life we planned
Wasn't meant to include Afghanistan
Now that yellow ribbon's nearly faded white
Sure is lonely in the lone star tonight

What I swore, that day, was you, knocking at the door
Was just three men in uniform
Saying something about honor and sacrifice
Sure is lonely in the lone star tonight

This heavy heart, I'm on my knees with it
There's no prayer I know to make peace with it

There's no shooting stars over San Antone
At least none that are worth wishing on
Just a folded up flag in the full moon light
Sure is lonely in the lone star tonight
