I'll say hello to the road
Leaving Houston on that night
Storms raging in a big dark evening sky
I'll say hello to San Antonio
To the girl I left behind
Heartbroken in the cold December night
If you think you’ll make it
Just singing “It’s all right”
You’d better stop dreaming
And get back on the line
Should I ever come back to Texas
Be sure I’ll track her down
Just to tell her my words were not all lies
There’ll be many rivers waiting
To throw levees on my path
And swamp this land until it gets me drowned
And no one here will be running
For they know there is no difference
Between angels and sinners when love strikes
If you think you’ll make it...
Just singing “It’s all right”
You’d better stop dreaming
And get back on the line
Should I ever come back to Texas
Be sure I’ll track her down
Just to tell her my words were not all lies
Oh there’ve been many winters
And summers come to pass
But she never ever really left my mind
And though her skin still haunts me
Though she’s been on my mind
I never took the ride I take tonight
If you think you’ll make it...
Just singing “It’s all right”
You’d better stop dreaming
And get back on the line
Should I ever come back to Texas
Be sure I’ll track her down
Just to tell her my words were not all lies
Just to tell her my words were not all lies
