Title: Texas ain't big enough
lyrics & music by: Jeff Knight, BMI
©1992
1st ver:
Looks like rain in San Antone
forty days since I've been gone
and these big ole tears keep following me around.
I've got no reason for going home
since she left I've been so alone
but I need to take a stand on some solid ground.
Chor:
Cause this water's up to my knees in Amarillo.
This flood has taken Dallas by storm.
The banks are running over on the Rio Grande.
While Austin may get more tomorrow morn.
Drowning in my sorrow
is one of my biggest fears.
This big ole state of Texas
ain't big enough to hold these tears.
2nd ver:
Business calls me up in Sante Fe.
I try to drive these tears away.
But these memories of her keep rollin right along.
I tried to stop once or twice.
Gambled on love and rolled the dice.
I can feel a change in weather coming on.
repeat chorus
Tag:
Yea, this big ole state of Texas
ain't big enough to hold these tears.
