I been wrong for so long
|
Accusing you of wrongness
|
But tonight ... you broke
|
And you made me right
|
Cause I just saw you inside
|
This Texas tavern
|
By his side ... smiling smiles
|
I never seen
|
So I just straightened up
|
And walked in on that bar room
|
Just as you reached out and kissed
|
His curling mouth
|
But when you saw me your eyes died
|
Somewhere deep inside you
|
It tore me down ... I turned around
|
And ran back on out
|
|
Chorus:
|
With Texas tears failing down
|
Washing my life right out on the ground
|
Texas tears they're falling down
|
Running out ... on you running around
|
|
I went home all alone
|
Sit down by the telephone
|
When it rang ... I knew it was you
|
Was on the line
|
You said
|
"Baby, please don't mistake
|
What you seen for a backstreet date
|
Now ... I was just havin a drink
|
With a friend of mine"
|
I said
|
"Damn you ... you lyin Texas woman
|
You got the lips of an angel
|
But the devil, he's suckin your tongue
|
Yeah damn you ... you lyin Texas woman
|
Me an you an that devil too
|
Just done had our run"
|
|
Chorus
