American Dream - Girl in Texas

The sunset streams across the silver screen
 And takes the cowboy down
 And Texas seems a long, long way
 From this run down mining town
 England's hope and glory has hit that lonesome trail
 And drugstore dreams of limousines -Marlboro men and Levi jeans
 Steel guitars and rhinestone queens
 They will never let me down
 And I dreamed I saw America
 From a two bit-border town Thought I'd get across the border
 See what I could see
 Put a little order between the Lone-Star State and me
 She was standing by the freeway
 I was short on company
 She was a girl in Texas
 But a woman in Tennessee My pick-up ain't no limousine
 But there's room enough for two
 As she slipped in down by my side
 The State-line came in view
 She said she'd a mind to travel
 I said, that is just fine by me
 She was a girl in Texas
 But a woman in Tennessee We found a little bar-room
 With a polka playing band
 We took to trading smiles
 And we took to holding hands
 And we danced - we danced into the morning
 Changed our history
 She was a girl in Texas
 But a woman in Tennessee And I dreamed I saw America
 From a two-bit - one-horse - run-down
 Northern mining town
