Lyrics

West Texas Girl

She sold flowers by the express
It left every night for the dawn
She'd watch them float on, wish that she too was gone
Then float back to Earth with a song

A monger of flowers, not her life’s dream
She long for the places, she’s never yet seen
She’s wait for the day she could pick up her take
And head for the way that the wind tend to break

West Texas girl, you’re the light of my life
The blood in my veins, the cure to my strife
You take me someplace, where I’ve never been
West Texas girl you’re my queen
I just wish father time hadn’t taken his time with me
West Texas girl, you’re the only one I see

I’d spend my spare moments by that old station
Hoping that I’d see her there
I’d wait with my Schwinn for heaven in a glimpse
Hoping I could take her along

But then came the day that she got up and left
Took the 4:17 to the coast in the West
Now when I go by, it seem lonely there,
I can’t help but wonder how is she and where?

West Texas girl, you’re the light of my life
The blood in my veins, the cure to my strife
You take me someplace, where I’ve never been
West Texas girl you’re my queen
I just wish father time hadn’t taken his time with me
West Texas girl, you’re the only one I see
West Texas girl, you’re the only one for me
