A little lady standin' next to me Isn't she a pretty thing? I'm the one who put that ring on her left hand Another fella can tip his hat And I'm as gentle

Well I was really feeling down I'd really been uptight About to lose my mind When I came in here tonight Things have turned around Since they turned

I left Houston ?round two a.m. in the middle of a pourin? rain Drove all night to Oklahoma, scared I?d never see you again I found you in Tulsa, hopin

Before I die I wanna hit the Mississipi In a boat I've yet to buy and take it out in the Gulf Where the water meets the sky To where nothing on God's

Used to think that love would be so simple Just happy ever after one another Sometimes it's hot to trot And sometimes it's the old cold shoulder Oh,

I was thumbing my way outta San Antone Saddle on my back, my Raybans on A dusty old cowboy hat, scuffed up jeans When a tourqoise Elderado with horns

There's never been a Texan who's ever been outdone He'll outbig the biggest for spite or for fun He's got bigger tractors and bigger trucks Bigger and

Tommy and Janey hardly eighteen Holdin' hands at the jewelry store Eyes open wide starin' inside At the ring that they wanted for her Mister bring it

I can't say looking back right now just where our love went wrong But the hard cold fact is she's not here she's gone Made me a promise she'd be true
