Each night when I sleep I dream of a love in my town I don't count sheep just the faces of her in my town I miss her all the time and she's always on my mind and then some A love that is mine gonna stay there this time in my town Well I write her letters and I always send her X's And I'm a going back cause there ain't a darn cow in Texas No need to wait cause I've been every place and then some And that love that has mind will keep me this time in my town Well I'm a gonna get there as fast as I can get there back to my town Maybe a long time but not a lifetime I'm a gonna hold her tight squeeze her with all my might Then I put my suitcase down Well I've met a lot of girls but never like that girl in my town They remind me of her then they make me lonesome for my town I knew it all the time though I put it from my mind but I learn some That the girl that has mind will keep me this time in my town That the girl that has mind will keep me this time in my town
