| [00:06.29] |
Leave the waves of Galveston but only if you can |
| [00:11.53] |
'Cause you've been hit behind the seawall, |
| [00:14.90] |
Gently folded in the sand |
| [00:18.79] |
Papa left you for Heaven after your Mama lost her song |
| [00:23.83] |
And though your baby left you for Houston, |
| [00:27.50] |
No one stays there very long |
| [00:43.01] |
There's a graveyard by the pizza parlor, |
| [00:46.38] |
A gate that only closes |
| [00:48.75] |
Snowbirds fly away like secrets no one really wants to know |
| [00:54.93] |
The climbing moon's always shining |
| [00:58.20] |
On the kind of shells you keep |
| [01:00.80] |
The broken horse tied to the water tower's running in his sleep |
| [01:09.53] |
It's too bad that you ain't got a soft place to fall |
| [01:22.38] |
It's too bad Texas leans to the least of us all |
| [01:34.34] |
And says, “If you can make the music |
| [01:38.76] |
Then you can have the dance |
| [01:42.11] |
If you can shoot the pistol then you can wear the pants” |
| [02:11.03] |
So leave the waves of Galveston but only if you can |
| [02:16.25] |
'Cause it's the only place the Lone Star |
| [02:19.85] |
Kind have offered you a hand |
| [02:23.21] |
Your baby left you nothing but a dog she left for dead |
| [02:28.52] |
You never knew you were a burden |
| [02:32.12] |
Till it hit you on the head |
| [02:37.68] |
It's too bad that you ain't got a soft place to fall |
| [02:48.89] |
It's too bad Texas leans to the least in us all |
| [03:01.92] |
And says, “If you can make the music |
| [03:06.09] |
Then you can have the dance |
| [03:09.22] |
If you can shoot the pistol then you can wear the pants” |
