Deep in the Heart of Uncertain Texas - Rodney Crowell, Ronnie Dunn, Willie Nelson

The crickets are singing the blue gills are biting

The fireflies are flashing with all of their might

Just forty-odd mile from the Rio Palm Isle

The whole gangs gone fishing on a full moonlit night

We get high on the lake and we float down the river

Get off on the back roads, get lost in the woods

Very deep in the heart of Uncertain Texas

I’ve tried hard to leave here but never did could

Tomorrow we’re having the world’s largest fish fry

Eat catfish and crappie till they come out our ears

Have it made in the shade of a sleepy pine thicket

Get covered up in chiggers and drink ten tubs of beer

We get high on the lake and we float down the river

Get off on the back roads, get lost in the woods

Very deep in the heart of Uncertain Texas

I’ve tried hard to leave here but never did could

Give me a guitar and a long legged girl

A dime bag of dirt weed and a six pack of pearl

You take 59 Highway cross the Cass county line

That’s where you’ll find me way back in the pines

We get high on the lake and we float down the river

Get off on the back roads, get lost in the woods

Very deep in the heart of Uncertain Texas

I’ve tried hard to leave here but never did could
