Texas Dance Hall Girl Lyrics - 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 

No one really knows the story that there'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 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 

She's just a sad and lonely Texas dance hall girl
