Somewhere In Texas -Lyric

SOMEWHERE IN TEXAS (New Lyrics)
 
CHORUS
Somewhere down in Texas
There's a water hole run dry
Where an old coyote stops and lingers 
As he seems to wonder where and why
Memories were born near here
When first I learned to speak her name
Memories were born near here
When first we loved and learned to fan the flame

Yeah, somewhere down in Texas
The creatures of the night come forth, dreams begin to weave
I recall that first gentle kiss
The crowd faded and we were last to leave
She told me then of her past
I told her too of how I'd failed before
Nothin' from our past seemed that important
The future stood with open door

CHORUS REPEAT

Somewhere in Texas lovers look and sigh
And share their own dreams beneath the starlit sky
Perhaps those dreams will come true
Who's to say about by and by
Memories were born near here
When first we learned to wonder where and why

CHORUS REPEAT

My First Taste of Texas (Original Lyrics)
By Ed Bruce
 
My first taste of Texas
Had blue eyes and golden hair
Beneath the Tennessee, silver moon
We found a feelin' we could share
And age made no difference
I'd been around and she was young
But my first taste of Texas
Still lingers in my heart and on my tongue.



Her gentle heart was broken
In a way a tender lady shouldn't have to know
And mine was somewhere in between
Somethin' I should hold on to or let go
Her talkin' blue eyes told me
The story of the love she failed to find
And without conversation I suppose
The lines on my face told her mine



My first taste of Texas
Had blue eyes and golden hair
Beneath the Tennessee silver moon
We found a feelin' we could share
And age made no difference
I'd been around and she was young
And my first taste of Texas
Still lingers in my heart and on my tongue



'Cause we're not done we've only just begun
Begun to love now the two of us are one
And age made no difference
We're still around and love's still young
And my first taste of Texas
Still lingers in my heart and on my tongue



My first taste of Texas,
Had blue eyes and golden hair.
Beneath the Tennessee silver moon,
We found a feelin' we could share.
And age made no difference.
We're still around and love's still young.
My first taste of Texas,
Still lingers in my heart and on my tongue
