Lyrics
MY FIRST GIRLFRIEND'S NAME WAS LUBBOCK
(Other title: OLD LUBBOCK LOVER)
My first girlfriend's name was Lubbock Flat as a woman could be I left her for a girl named Austin just to hear an Armadillo sing Then Houston left me breathless at the top of her stairs but I couldn't quit thinkin' 'bout Lubbock and her dusty brown hair
Then I met Dallas Sexiest woman I've ever seen I just could not cope with her high society Then this trashy truck stop waitress Her name was Abilene Said Harry my skillet is always hot You'd be happier here with me
Then I got to thinkin' maybe Abilene was right but there ain't no way of knowin' 'til I see her in the light So I wined her and dined her and she gave me such a fright I drove straight through to Lubbock in the middle of the night
Old Lubbock lover that's who I am Old Lubbock lover headin' back home again
Now Lubbock in my windshield is much flatter than what I remember course, last time I seen her she was in my rearview mirror but she says she still loves me so I promised not to go 'cause I'd rather have her than Waco and get shot by Billy Joe
Old Lubbock lover headin' back home again
