Livingston's Gone To Texas

Jimmy Buffett · Living & Dying In 3/4 Time [1974]

Nothing here is different

Nothings changed at all

Livingston's gone to Texas

They say he had a ball



They say he learned to be a cowboy

They say he learned to rope and ride

But I wonder if he ever thinks about the tears his woman cried



Now Holly won't you let me

Try and make you smile

You loved him as if he were your husband

Now he'll be gone awhile



Wrote he had to see the country

On starry nights he wished that you were there

And so it shows wherever he goes

Deep inside you know he really cares



It's crazy and it's different

But it's really being free

And reasons the world would want to question

Makes sense to you and me



Nothing here is different

Nothing's changed at all

Livingston's still in Texas

The snows about to fall
