lyrics

SHE CAN’T HANDLE THE FAST LANE
JUST GOTTA GET AWAY
SHE SEES IN A MAGAZINE
TEXAS HOLIDAY
SHE MEETS SOME PREACHER ON THE WAY
THEY GO OUT WALKIN IN THE WARM SUMMER RAIN

AND SHE SAYS GOOD BYE IN A NEW YORK MINUTE
WHEN SHE SAYS HELLO TO A TEXAS SMILE
NOW SHE CAN’T SEE A WORLD WITHOUT TRUE LOVE IN IT
SHE SAYS GOOD BYE TO THE NEW YORK SKY LINE
HELLO TEXAS SKY

SHE ONLY WENT FOR THE WEEK END
NOW SHE’S A LITTLE OFF TRACK
AND IT’S A BEAUTIFUL SUMMER
SHE JUST CAN’T GO BACK
SHE DON’T KNOW WHAT SHE’S LOOKIN FOR
BUT SHE KNOWS IT AINT BACK THERE IN NEW YORK

AND SHE SAYS GOOD BYE IN A NEW YORK MINUTE
WHEN SHE SAYS HELLO TO A TEXAS SMILE
NOW SHE CAN’T SEE A WORLD WITHOUT TRUE LOVE IN IT
SHE SAYS GOODBYE TO THE NEW YORK SKY LINE
HELLO TEXAS SKY

AND THE PREACHER SAID
WHAT YOU GIVE IS WHAT YOU GET
THERE AINT NO ESCAPIN’ THAT
FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU NEED MOST
AND GIVE IT OUT TIL IT COMES BACK

SO SHE MARRIED THE PREACHER
THAT SHE MET IN THE POURIN’ RAIN
HE WAS TRYIN TO REACH HER
THROUGH A WORLD GONE HALF INSANE
THEY HELD TO GETHER FOR SO LONG
SHE FINALLY FELT LIKE SHE BELONGED

AND SHE SAID GOOD BYE IN A NEW YORK MINUTE
WHEN SHE SAID HELLO TO A TEXAS SMILE
NOW SHE CANT SEE A WORLD WITHOUT TRUE LOVE IN IT
SHE SAYS GOOD BYE TO THE NEW YORK SKYLINE
HELO TEXAS SKY
