Lyrics

SHE LEFT TEXAS
©1981 LARRY BOYD & EDDIE FARISS




SHE LEFT TEXAS WITH ANOTHER, SAID GOODBYE TO HER LOVER
SAID I WAS ABOUT TO SMOTHER HER
WITH BLUES FROM WALL TO WALL, THIS OLD ROAD?S GETTIN? ROUGHER
AND MY HEART AIN?T GETTIN? NO TOUGHER
EITHER I AIN?T GETTIN? ENOUGH OR I AIN?T GETTIN? NONE AT ALL


DRIVIN? THROUGH THE NIGHT
TOWARD THE CALIFORNIA LIGHT
LOOKIN? FOR A LADY I ONCE KNEW
WITH TEXAS FAR BEHIND ME
I HOPE TODAY I?LL FIND THE
ONLY ONE I?D EVER GIVE MY FEELINGS TO


WE HAD TROUBLE FOR A WHILE
AND I HARDLY SAW HER SMILE
SHE TRIED TO TIE ME DOWN BUT I SAID NO
WHEN SHE LEFT SHE SAID ?I?LL WRITE YOU?
AND I TOLD HER ?YOU DON?T HAVE TO?
BUT IF SHE?D COME BACK I?D NEVER LET HER GO


SHE LEFT TEXAS WITH ANOTHER, SAID GOODBYE TO HER LOVER
SAID I WAS ABOUT TO SMOTHER HER
WITH BLUES FROM WALL TO WALL, THIS OLD ROAD?S GETTIN? ROUGHER
AND MY HEART AIN?T GETTIN? NO TOUGHER
EITHER I AIN?T GETTIN? ENOUGH OR I AIN?T GETTIN? NONE AT ALL


DRIVIN? THROUGH THE NIGHT
TOWARD THE CALIFORNIA LIGHT
LOOKIN? FOR THAT GIRL IN FRISCO TOWN
IF IT TURNS OUT SHE?S FOUND HAPPINESS
I?LL HAVE TO GO BACK HOME I GUESS
AND TRY TO GET MY FEET BACK ON THE GROUND


SHE LEFT TEXAS WITH ANOTHER, SAID GOODBYE TO HER LOVER
SAID I WAS ABOUT TO SMOTHER HER
WITH BLUES FROM WALL TO WALL, THIS OLD ROAD?S GETTIN? ROUGHER
AND MY HEART AIN?T GETTIN? NO TOUGHER
EITHER I AIN?T GETTIN? ENOUGH OR I AIN?T GETTIN? NONE AT ALL
