A Lot Like Texas

[Verse 1]
Ten o'clock 'til closing time, he never took a breath
Just went on and on about her 'til she felt like an old friend
I could tell how much he missed her, how he's hurting since she's gone
In that hotel bar I found myself wishing I could get back home

[Chorus]
Guess she was a lot like Texas
Half a million stars in her eyes
And still as the waters of the Colorado River in the middle of July
Then without any warning, rage like a storm and make you run for your life
I guess she was a lot like Texas
She was mighty hard to leave

[Verse 2]
From closing time 'til morning light, I didn't sleep at all
I play the movie of my own life there on the hotel wall
Before my eyes, an endless sky and a girl right next to me
And it wasn't just a place so much as a hold she had on me

[Chorus]
I guess she was a lot like Texas
You could see a million stars in her eyes
She was still as the waters of the Colorado River in the middle of July
And then without any warning, she could rage like a storm and make you run for your life
I guess she was a lot like Texas
I don't know why I had to leave

[Bridge]
That old man would understand why I'm dying to get home
'Cause when a woman's in your blood, there's no letting go, oh no
Guess she was a lot like Texas

[Chorus]
Yeah, she was still as the waters of the Colorado River in the middle of July
And then without any warning, she could rage like a storm and make you run for your life
I guess she was a lot like Texas
She must've been a lot like Texas
She was mighty hard to leave
