Terry Allen - Texas Tears lyrics

rate me

I been wrong for so long

Accusing you of wrongness

But tonight ... you broke

And you made me right

Cause I just saw you inside

This Texas tavern

By his side ... smiling smiles

I never seen

So I just straightened up

And walked in on that bar room

Just as you reached out and kissed

His curling mouth

But when you saw me your eyes died

Somewhere deep inside you

It tore me down ... I turned around

And ran back on out

Chorus:

With Texas tears failing down

Washing my life right out on the ground

Texas tears they're falling down

Running out ... on you running around

I went home all alone

Sit down by the telephone

When it rang ... I knew it was you

Was on the line

You said

"Baby, please don't mistake

What you seen for a backstreet date

Now ... I was just havin a drink

With a friend of mine"

I said

"Damn you ... you lyin Texas woman

You got the lips of an angel

But the devil, he's suckin your tongue

Yeah damn you ... you lyin Texas woman

Me an you an that devil too

Just done had our run"

Chorus
