Texas Tears

I've been wrong for so long 'ccusing you of wrongness
But tonight you broke and you made me right
Cause I just saw you inside this Texas tavern
By his side smiling smiles I never seen
So I just straightened up and walked in on that barroom
Just as you reached out and kissed his curling mouth
When you saw me your eyes died somewhere deep inside you
It tore me down I turned around and ran back on out

Texas tears falling down
Washing my life right out on the ground
Texas tears they're falling down
Running out on you running around

I went home all alone sit down by the telephone
When it rang I knew it was you was on the line
You said baby please don't mistake what you seen for a backstreet date
Now I was just havin' a drink with a friend of mine
I said damn you you lyin' Texas woman
You got the lips of an angel but the devil he's suckin' your tongue
Yeah damn you you lyin' Texas woman
Me and you an that devil too just done had our run

Texas tears falling down...
Texas tears falling down...
