Goin' on down to Texas with a girl that I just met
Goin' to meet her family in her new Corvette
Goin' on down to Texas, it's as easy as can be
We might stop off in Denver, now, just to see what we can see
And as I give her my protection she gives me her harmony
Goin' on down to Texas, just me and my Dixie Rose
To find out what's been missing now from the other life that she chose
Might just ask a person there where a stranger goes
To get some good old Texas dirt clods that we can squeeze between our toes
