Lone Star

(album: Killed The Cowboy - 2023)

The curl in your hair, boots on a barstool
Just had that glow
Did I hear a drawl when you ordered your drink?
Must be San Antone
'Cause you ain't from Tennessee
Got a W on the back pocket of your jeans, yeah
And I can't believe you ain't saving a seat for someone

Lone star, look at you shine
Ain't never seen nothing so bright as the Rio's wide
You're one in a hundred billion
You couldn't even keep it hidden if you tried
So, lone star, tell me why
You're sitting all alone tonight

Maybe you're chasing a dream, just rolled into Nashville
Or your heart got broke
But I'd love to hear that you came here with no one
My luck just rolled
And those bar lights on a string lining up for me
Ain't too beautiful to believe

Lone star, look at you shine
Ain't never seen nothing so bright as the Rio's wide
You're one in a hundred billion
You couldn't even keep it hidden if you tried
So, lone star, tell me why
You're sitting all alone tonight

Yeah, yeah

A quarter in a jukebox
Waylon oughta turn your head
Order up a couple Shiner Bocks
Slid one over, then I said

Lone star, look at you shine
Ain't never seen nothing so bright as the Rio's wide
You're one in a hundred billion
You couldn't even keep it hidden if you tried
So, lone star, tell me why
You're sitting all alone tonight

Yeah, why you're sitting all alone tonight
Yeah
