Heartstrings | Honky Tonks

I met her down in Waco by a soda machine She smiled

like trouble dressed in faded jeans

Said she loved slow dancing and barbecue smoke

I should've seen the warning in that little joke By Friday she

was gone with my best straw hat

And half my heart still riding in her Pontiac

Love

in Texas burns hot then rolls away Like a blue norther changing

in a day She took my kiss,

my cash, my Friday night Left me and the jukebox trying to

get it right I laugh,

I hurt, I

raise another glass That's texas love,

buddy, fast and built to pass Now I work the feed store

out on Highway 10 Hear the old

men swear they saw this tale back then One

says love is fishing with a dollar lure

Another

says marriage is a rich man's cure I just nod and grin

while the coffee cooks Trying not to write her name in my

order book Love in Texas burns hot then rolls away Like a

blue norther changing in a day She took

my kiss,

my cash, my Friday night Left

me

and the

jukebox trying to get it right I laugh,

I hurt, I raise another

glass That's texas love,

buddy, fast and built to pass

If she rolls back in when the sun drops low I'll say

girl sit down, let the two-step roll You can break my plans,

you can bruise my pride But leave my hat alone and you

can stay all night

Love in Texas burns hot then rolls away

Like a blue norther changing in a day

She took my kiss,

my cash, my Friday night

Left me and the jukebox trying to get it right I laugh,

I hurt, I raise another glass That's texas love,

buddy, fast and built to pass

Yeah that's texas love,

and I still tip my hat

Lord, what a woman

Lord, what a state
