David Gans
She was bored and lonesome
I was new in town
And when her dark brown eyes lit up
There might be no touchin’ down
Double-divorced and drinkin’ doubles
Well, we soon became fast friends
Now I’ve been cut by diamonds
And I’m on the road again
I’m waltzing across Texas
All alone and I don’t know why
She looked at me one morning
With the light gone from her eye
Waltzing across Texas
It’s the only step she knows
And if I can’t see those brown eyes shine
Then I’ll take my blues and go
That poodle dog was barkin’
At her door all through the night
And deep inside her dark brown eyes
I could see the rising light
Then it was gone, quicker than it started
Hallelujah and goodbye
She wound up bored and lonesome again
I took off on the fly
Now I’m waltzing across Texas
All alone and I don’t know why
She looked at me one morning
With the light gone from her eye
Waltzing across Texas
It’s the only step she knows
And if I can’t see those brown eyes shine
Then I’ll take my blues and go
