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
