Texas Dance Hall Girl

Ernest Tubb

She's the first one on the dance floor

When the music starts to play

She's the first to buy the band around the drink

She's just out to have a good time

Dances every set they play

And she don't care what anybody thinks

She's a sad and lonely Texas dance hall girl

Who's just tryin' to bring a smile

To this old world

But behind the smile a broken heart

Lives in another world

She's a sad and lonely

Texas dance hall girl



[ steel ]



No one really knows the story that

Tthere's an old love on her mind

Cause the certain song brings

Teardrops to her eyes

But they only dare a minute

Then she's laughing one more time

With what little happiness

A teardrop buys

She's a sad and lonely...

She's just a sad and lonely

Texas dance hall girl
