written by Jacob Lee and Kirk Kiefer

lyrics

In some dingy diner I couldn't believe how a man could be
so whitless and naive
Out there in Texas I can only guess why he traded your heart
for a pinball machine

Your molasses voice makes my knees swing
I forget to breathe when I hear you sing
Wish I was Texas to see where it'd take us
And maybe you'd fall in love with me

Why do you have to be so far away from me?
I lay my head down on my pillow and dream of Amarillo
Close my eyes and I'll go to say hello and take it slow with you

Every day would be a menagerie of canyons, calypso and
old Chablis
If I was in Texas why no one would expect us
to spend our lives so happily

Why do you have to be so far away from me?
I lay my head down on my pillow and dream of Amarillo
Close my eyes and I'll go to say hello and take it slow with you
