There's a Girl in Texas
Trace Adkins · Til The Last Shot's Fired: The Definitive Greatest Hits [2010]
Chasing down a dream
I thought I knew what I was looking for
But the neon nights have blinded me
'Til I'm lost in Tennessee
Not sure I know who I am anymore...but
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
That does
You're a truly lovely lady
And you sure light up the night
I'm a lonely man but I'm leaving here alone
I won't try to lie to you
About this heart of mine
That I can't give that I don't really own...'cause
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
That does
If this dream that I've been chasin'
Ever sets me free
And I wake up to find it don't need me
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
That does
Yes, there's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
That does
Yes, there's a girl in Texas that I still love
There's a Girl in Texas
