Each night when I sleep I dream of a love in my town
I don't count sheep just the faces of her in my town
I miss her all the time and she's always on my mind and then some
A love that is mine gonna stay there this time in my town
Well I write her letters and I always send her X's
And I'm a going back cause there ain't a darn cow in Texas
No need to wait cause I've been every place and then some
And that love that has mind will keep me this time in my town
Well I'm a gonna get there as fast as I can get there back to my town
Maybe a long time but not a lifetime
I'm a gonna hold her tight squeeze her with all my might
Then I put my suitcase down
Well I've met a lot of girls but never like that girl in my town
They remind me of her then they make me lonesome for my town
I knew it all the time though I put it from my mind but I learn some
That the girl that has mind will keep me this time in my town
That the girl that has mind will keep me this time in my town
