I met a man who took a 7:30 train to Houston and I'm sure it was nice I went once myself, I had to go by bus but I'm sure that the train ride was nice and I can still smell the air I can see the land getting flatter my true love lives there in Texas my love The prettiest girl I ever seen's in Galveston you know she came and picked me up there she took my arms and gently wrapped them round her waist and I pressed my face against her hair and I can still smell her shampoo I smell the scent of her skin I close my eyes, and I'm there again in Texas my love In Texas my love she is waiting on me and I'm far away wasting away, far away and I dream of the day when I'll finally find a way to somehow get back to her there in Texas my love
