Texas Hotel -- Kris Tyler
Capo 2
Intro:
He left Houston, Texas, in somebody else's car
A little luck and a Chevrolet might take him pretty far
Sometimes a man just gets a restless feeling in his veins
He pulled onto the highway and slipped off his wedding ring
She was gonna meet him in a hotel out of town
She waited smoking cigarettes and throwing whiskey down
She looked down at her watch then checked the clock up on the wall
She was getting out of Texas even if she had to crawl
If you're looking for trouble then you found it son
She was looking for love but isn't everyone
Someday they'd always have a story to tell
They both got what they wanted in that Texas hotel
He wasn't in this for the long run he wasn't going anywhere
She was headed out to LA but he didn't really care
'Cause like a bus down at the depot there'll be another comin' by
He was gonna have to tell her the truth
But it wouldn't be tonight
If you're looking for trouble then you found it son
She was looking for love but isn't everyone
Someday they'd always have a story to tell
They both got what they wanted in that Texas hotel
Now that whiskey made her lonely, the whiskey made her mean
When they woke up the next day she was somewhere in between
He was going back to Houston before his wife got too concerned
So she lit up one more cigarette and just watched that Chevy burn
If you're looking for trouble then you found it son
She was looking for love but isn't everyone
Someday they'd always have a story to tell
They both got what they wanted in that Texas hotel
