Texas Tears Lyrics - Terry Allen

I been wrong for so long, accusing you of wrongness 

But tonight you broke and you made me right 

'Cause I just saw you inside this Texas tavern 

By his side, smiling smiles, I never seen 

So, I just straightened up and walked in on that bar room 

Just as you reached out and kissed his curling mouth 

But when you saw me your eyes died 

Somewhere deep inside you, it tore me down 

I turned around and ran back on out 

With Texas tears failing down 

Washing my life right out on the ground 

Texas tears they're falling down 

Running out on you running around 

I went home all alone 

Sit down by the telephone 

When it rang I knew it was you 

Was on the line 

You said, "Baby, please don't mistake 

What you seen for a backstreet date 

Now, I was just havin' a drink 

With a friend of mine" 

I said, "Damn you, you lyin' Texas woman 

You got the lips of an angel 

But the devil, he's suckin' your tongue 

Yeah, damn you, you lyin' Texas woman 

Me an you an that devil too, just done had our run" 

With Texas tears failing down 

Washing my life right out on the ground 

Texas tears they're falling down 

Running out on you running around
