Michael Scotto - Texas Never Let Me Down

TEXAS NEVER LET ME DOWN

I am from Texas
She was from Luzianne
I told her that I loved her
She just turned her cheek and ran

she said nothing against Texas
but I'm looking for a special guy
and there's something about the bayou
that makes me wanna cry

It’s the first time Texas ever let me down
It’s the last time I’m coming to this town
If she loves the bayou, she can have New Orleans
Give me Texas and all the Texas girls around

I met a girl from Raleigh
She loves a tar heel boy
I asked if I had a chance
She just closed her pickup door

She said, nothing against Texas
I guess it has its moments
But when a girl’s from Carolina
She just wants to stay at home

I can’t believe Texas would ever let me down
It’s the last time I’m coming to this town
If she loves Carolina, she can have Tobacco Road
Give me Texas and all the Texas girls around

I wandered over to Nashville
I heard the girls there love cowboys
But when I mentioned Austin
They ran like Hatfields from McCoys

Looks like I’m headed back to Texas
With nothing on my arm
A heart that’s bigger than Dallas
But without that rodeo charm

It’s not that Texas could ever let me down
I just need to probably stick around
Them girls have never been to the Lone Star state
If they had they’d all be Texas bound
