American Dream - Girl In Texas Lyrics

The sunset streams across the silver screen
And takes the cowboy down
And Texas seems a long, long way
From this run down mining town
England's hope and glory has hit that lonesome trail
And drugstore dreams of limousines -Marlboro men and Levi jeans
Steel guitars and rhinestone queens
They will never let me down
And I dreamed I saw America
From a two bit-border town Thought I'd get across the border
See what I could see
Put a little order between the Lone-Star State and me
She was standing by the freeway
I was short on company
She was a girl in Texas
But a woman in Tennessee My pick-up ain't no limousine But there's room enough for two
As she slipped in down by my side
The State-line came in view
She said she'd a mind to travel
I said, that is just fine by me
She was a girl in Texas
But a woman in Tennessee We found a little bar-room
With a polka playing band
We took to trading smiles
And we took to holding hands
And we danced - we danced into the morning
Changed our history
She was a girl in Texas
But a woman in Tennessee And I dreamed I saw America
From a two-bit - one-horse - run-down
Northern mining town
