Texas Two-Step

I met her at a dance hall west of Abilene

She laughed at my boots,

said they looked too clean

I bought her a soda,

she stole half my fries By midnight I was gone on those

troublemaker eyes She said love runs hot as a July blacktop road

I said mine breaks down like my uncle's fishing boat We two-stepped

all night like we had something to prove

Then she left with my lighter and my favorite groove

Oh, love in Texas will tan your hide Kiss you at sunset,

leave you by sunrise You laugh,

you cry, then you order one more Sweep up your heart from

the dance hall floor Still I raise my glass and grin real

wide That's just love and life in Texas,

honey, what a ride

I saw her three weeks later at the county fair With a

rodeo cowboy and expensive hair She waved and said,

darling, you still write bad songs I said only the hits,

and she sang right along Now my truck needs tires and my

pride needs glue But my mama said,

son, that's what pretty girls do So I tipped my hat and

let the whole thing slide In this state a busted heart still

enjoys the ride

You can cuss the rain,

you can blame the moon You can swear off love till next

Friday afternoon But a smile like hers makes a fool feel wise

And every hard goodbye keeps a barroom alive

Oh, love in Texas will tan your hide Kiss you at sunset,

leave you by sunrise You laugh,

you cry, then you order one more Sweep up your heart from

the dance hall floor Still I raise my glass and grin real

wide That's just love and life in Texas,

honey, what a ride (hey) (ooh)
