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
