Just another Texas bus stop
|
Texas never seems to end
|
On my seventh cup a' coffee
|
Waitress, hit me once again
|
Gotta date in Colorado
|
With the woman in my life
|
I've seen enough of fairgrounds
|
An' singin' in the lights
|
|
'Cause the only light I wanna see
|
Is the light that's in the eyes
|
Of the woman waitin' up for me again
|
Yeah, the only light I wanna see
|
Is a candle in the winda
|
An' the open door that she'll be standin' in
|
|
Driver says, "It's time, folks"
|
So we straggle back on board
|
Just me, a nun, two cowboys
|
An' a guy in back that snored
|
Been twenty-seven hours
|
Full a' anything but fun
|
An' over my right shoulder
|
There's an early-mornin' sun
|
|
But the only light I wanna see
|
Is the light that's in the eyes
|
Of a woman waitin' up for me again
|
Yeah, the only light I wanna see
|
Is a candle in the winda
|
An' the open door that she'll be standin' in
|
|
Goin' on forty hours
|
An' I've been too long alone
|
But it's only just a walk, now
|
Up the hill and then I'm home
|
I've seen too many bus stops
|
An' I've sung my share a' songs
|
But the spotlight only matters
|
When it's shinin' in my home
|
|
'Cause the only light I wanna see
|
Is a light that's in the eyes
|
Of a woman waitin' up for me again
|
Yeah, the only light I wanna see
|
Is a candle in the winda
|
An' the open door that she'll be standin' in
|
|
[Fade out]
|
Yeah, the only light I wanna see
|
Is the light that's in the eyes
|
Of a woman waitin' up for me again
|
Yeah, the only light I wanna see
|
Is a candle in the winda
|
An' the open door that she'll be standin' in
|
|
'Cause the only light I wanna see
|
Is the light that's in the eyes
|
Of the woman waitin' up for me again
|
Yeah, the only light I wanna see...
