I met a man who took a 7:30 train to Houston
and I'm sure it was nice
I went once myself, I had to go by bus
but I'm sure that the train ride was nice
and I can still smell the air
I can see the land getting flatter
my true love lives there
in Texas my love

The prettiest girl I ever seen's in Galveston
you know she came and picked me up there
she took my arms and gently wrapped them round her waist
and I pressed my face against her hair
and I can still smell her shampoo
I smell the scent of her skin
I close my eyes, and I'm there again
in Texas my love

In Texas my love she is waiting on me
and I'm far away wasting away, far away
and I dream of the day when I'll finally find a way
to somehow get back to her there
in Texas my love
