My Honky Tonk Angel

I have dreamed so many dreams of life in Texas Of cowboys and of the history I'd find there So many hours I have been driving but all I see are oil wells everywhere . Long dusty roads and lorries hauling Miles and miles of heavy industry but just as I felt my spirit falling A vision of loveliness appeared to me . Calling to fill my car with fuel Perhaps a diet coke to quench my thirst Sat behind the counter on a stool An angel giggled as I cursed . She was so pleased that I was from England She said my accent sounded like a song She listened intently to my story Then bluntly told me where I'd been going wrong . There's a nice hotel in town if you are staying You can pick me up at seven by the door You're a nice guy but I hope you don't mind me saying No guy ever needed my help more . I drove her to that honky tonk at seven Those jeans so tight I swear they're made of paint With every word she spoke I felt I was in heaven Those green eyes would make the toughest cowboy faint. We danced then I sang her a ballad My rendition of always on my mind We kissed and we talked for hour on hour Never have I met anyone so kind . I walked her safely to her front door A ranch style house on a leafy avenue She gave the kind of kiss that shook me to my core The strangest most beautiful woman I ever knew . In the days that followed I found Texas It was everything I ever thought it could be and all the while my wonderful honky tonk angel Was right there sharing every sweet moment with me .
