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 September 20, 2016 Above lyrics developed from the original lyrics in My First Taste of Texas by Ed Bruce as follows 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
