you promised me heaven
but gave me hell
a ghost from the past
striking behind
enemy lines
living amongst the sweet little lies
through the soft rains of April
I became a man of three words
softspoken and unaware
of the the pain
that removed the ground
upon where I placed my very feet
damn it, Texas
why did you lie to me
whan you could have told me the truth
damn it, Texas
can you imagine
what we could have been
if we still were
meanwhile I got high
to catch you low
just like an actor getting lost in a script
I could`t get my act together
to play the role of someone
only you could have written
damn it, Texas
why did you lie to me
whan you could have told me the truth
damn it, Texas
can you imagine
what we could have been
if we still were
tryin` to bring down an elephant
with a BB gun
ain`t very Texas at all
damn it, Texas
why did you lie to me
whan you could have told me the truth
damn it, Texas
can you imagine
what we could have been
if we still were
damn it, Texas
why did you lie to me
whan you could have told me the truth
damn it, Texas
can you imagine
what we could have been
if we still were
