San Antonio Girl
Lyle Lovett · Other Songs - Lyle Lovett
All six-foot-seven
She sent him to where they parked
To go and get the car
She stayed behind there
She stood in line there
She got something to drink
And then she told me her name.
She said the Alamo
Was someplace we could go
Or to the Hemisfair
To ride the needle there
And all along the River Walk
Well all she did was talk
And all i did was think
Things are about to change.
Chorus:
San Antonio girl
She makes me crazy
San Antonio girl
She's the one for me
She ain't exactly white
But she's a little bit pretty
She's the whole wide world
San Antonio girl.
We watched that Darwin
Walk in San Marcos
The we went over
And ate some supper
Drove to Helotes
Flores County Store is
Out Highway 16
We heard old Robert Keen.
Chorus:
San Antonio girl
She makes me crazy
San Antonio girl
She's the one for me
She ain't exactly white
But she's a little bit pretty
She's the whole wide world
San Antonio girl.
Well, it was late by then
We should have turned it in
But she was hungry
And I was interested
In Mi Tierra's
Huevos Rancheros
We took some Polaroids
Right at the table.
Chorus:
San Antonio girl
She makes me crazy
San Antonio girl
She's the one for me
She ain't exactly white
But she's a little bit pretty
She's the whole wide world
San Antonio girl.
Chorus:
San Antonio girl
She makes me crazy
San Antonio girl
She's the one for me
She ain't exactly white
But she's a little bit pretty
She's the whole wide world
San Antonio girl...
