I'll Be Leavin' Texas Lyrics

(Lonnie C. Ratliff)

When I told you that I loved you there was doubt in your eyes
I bet somebody in your past broke your heart with all their lies
I can't change the things he's done but baby he's not me
I promise you forever's how it will be

(Chorus)
Til they close all those honky tonks in Texas
You can't find a longneck beer in San Antone
When nobody sells Lucchese boots, cowboy's start acting rude
Then I'll be leaving Texas and you

(Inst.)

If you know how I love Texas then you know how I love you
You'll end up at the Alamo if you're following my roots
Every single inch of Texas I consider sacred ground
So until I see things change I'll be around

(Chorus)
Til they close all those honky tonks in Texas
You can't find a longneck beer in San Antone
When nobody sells Lucchese boots, cowboy's start acting rude
Then I'll be leaving Texas and you
(Chorus)
Til they close all those honky tonks in Texas
You can't find a longneck beer in San Antone
If they stop dancing to Bob Wills then I'm out of here
Then I'll be leaving Texas and you
Tag:
Til then baby I'll be here for you
