lyrics

I’m headed west from Ohio
To that border town of El Paso
With a golden band and a girl on my mind

This highway seems like a dream to me
My mind is racing like you wouldn’t believe
I sense her there like an apparition’s sigh

CHORUS:
Well, the truth might hurt, but the facts don’t lie
I’ll love her ‘til the day I die
With a big ol’ heart and a smile just the same
And once I find her in that Texas dust
I’ll say, “Honey please don’t cry, don’t fuss
‘Cause I can’t let you watch me walk away again
I won’t walk away again, I won’t walk away”

There was a time when she was mine
Just the kind of gal I thought I’d never find
But when her daddy died I knew she had no choice

She was the answer to her lovin’ momma’s prayer
‘Cause she lacked the strength and could not bear
For her take to the fields with no one to hear her voice

CHORUS
