Texas Honey

I'm living in the past
I'm looking kind of funny
and my heart is in a cast
thinking 'bout my Texas honey

she was the only girl for me
I would give her all my money
she was sweet but wasn't free
I'll tell you 'bout my Texas honey

but when I lost my job and I lost my hat
the very next day she left me cold and she left me flat

now I'm staring at my shoes
and I'm staring at the ceiling
of a transient hotel
and I've got that lowdown feeling

we would go out to the show
we would cut it on the dance floor
with her hair tied in a bow
and we'd two step till we both were sore

then we'd go down to the bar
and we'd drink them out of hard stuff
in a drunken barroom fight
I'm telling you now boy that girl was tough

now i'm searching through the trash for a bite to eat
I've got no soles left on my shoes
they've done worn down straight to my feet

just living on the street
and my nose is always runny
she really swept my off my feet
I'll tell you 'bout my Texas honey
