© 2007 Hank Thomas all rights reserved Texas Melancholy Swing I'm gonna find myself a whole new way of dancin' One that don't involve no stompin', jumps', or prancin' Gonna sit all by myself and hold my head up low And do the Texas, Melancholy Swing Ain't no ride-em, rope-em cowboys here, sure ain't no movie stars Just a corner booth inside a dingy dusty dim-lit bar I'll hold my head in my two hands, slowly sway it side to side And do the Texas, Melancholy Swing BRIDGE Ain't no reason for a sunny disposition on my face No reasons I should smile and say I'm finishin' this race Her choice is clearly made, she packed her bags and left me here To do the Texas, melancholy swing I guess you figured out by now just how this story's gotta end In the name of love I begged and pleaded please don't go away I can't live with you gone but she just laughed out loud And left me here to do, the melancholy swing I'm gonna find myself a whole new way of dancin' One that don't involve no stompin', jumps', or prancin' I'm gonna sit all by myself and hold my head up low And do the Texas, Melancholy Swing I'm gonna sit all by myself and hold my head up low And do the Texas, Melancholy Swing |
