Four-thirty a.m., July 28, In the middle of a storm, never touching the brake, I drove like a bat outta hell, Down that lonely ol' four-lane. With the bright lights of Houston just fadin' behind, My tires tearin' up the road t'ward the state-line. I was leavin' the great Lone Star state, That I loved, for good. For the love of a good woman who lives in Louisiana, On a bayou by the river with the moon in her hair. And when I get there, I'm gonna get down on one knee, 'Cause wherever she is, boy, that's home for me. Don't get me wrong: Love's the only reason I'd ever leave Texas; She's the only reason I'd ever stay gone. Just about Baton Rouge, I was changin' my mind, Thinkin' 'bout all the things I'd be leavin' behind. Like a Red River sunrise, And the stars on a Galveston night. For the love of a good woman who lives in Louisiana, On a bayou by the river with the moon in her hair. And when I get there, I'm gonna get down on one knee, 'Cause wherever she is, boy, that's home for me. Don't get me wrong: Love's the only reason I'd ever leave Texas; An' she's the only reason I'd ever stay gone. Like a long lonely night, Wonderin' where I'd spend the rest of my life. Gone, like an old tumbleweed, Rollin' his way a place he can't find to call home. Instrumental break.

Love's the only reason I'd ever leave Texas; An' you're the only reason I'd ever stay gone. Instrumental fade. Bu döküman AkorMerkezi.com'da yayınlanmıştır. http://www.akormerkezi.com
