Don't Sing Me No Songs About Texas

(album: Devoted To Your Memory - 1983)

Don't sing about a Luckenbach Texas
Don't sing that San Antonio Rose
Don't sing me that song about Dallas
Hey I know very well how it goes

Get your New York honky tonking to honking
And turn the music up and do it right
But don't sing no songs about Texas
Cause that's where my heart is tonight

Get your New York fingers off that Texas fiddle
Don't want to hear no part of 'Faded Love'
And don't sing 'In The Streets Of Laredo'
Or 'Beneath Those Stars Up Above'

Get your New York honky tonking to honking
And turn the music up and do it right
But don't sing no songs about Texas
Cause that's where my heart is tonight

New York ain't no place for a cowboy
Broadway ain't no place to hold dance
If you're gonna play the music play the melody
This place is looking worse with every glance

Get your New York honky tonking to honking
And turn the music up and do it right
But don't sing no songs about Texas
Cause that's where my heart is tonight
