American Dream (Girl In Texas) Lyrics

The sunset streams across the silver screen And takes the cowboy down And Texas seems a long, long way From this run down mining town England's hope and glory has hit that lonesome trail And drugstore dreams of limousines - Marlboro men and Levi jeans Steel guitars and rhinestone queens They will never let me down And I dreamed I saw America From a two bit-border town Thought I'd get across the border See what I could see Put a little order between the Lone-Star State and me She was standing by the freeway I was short on company She was a girl in Texas But a woman in Tennessee My pick-up ain't no limousine But there's room enough for two As she slipped in down by my side The State-line came in view She said she'd a mind to travel I said, that is just fine by me She was a girl in Texas But a woman in Tennessee We found a little bar-room With a polka playing band We took to trading smiles And we took to holding hands And we danced - we danced into the morning Changed our history She was a girl in Texas But a woman in Tennessee And I dreamed I saw America From a two-bit - one-horse - run-down Northern mining town
