She's the first one on the dance floor when the music starts to play
She's the first to buy the band around the drink
She's just out to have a good time dances every set they play
And she don't care what anybody thinks
She's a sad and lonely Texas dance hall girl
Who's just tryin' to bring a smile to this old world
But behind the smile a broken heart lives in another world
She's a sad and lonely Texas dance hall girl
[ steel ]
No one really knows the story that there's an old love on her mind
Cause the certain song brings teardrops to her eyes
But they only dare a minute then she's laughing one more time
With what little happiness a teardrop buys
She's a sad and lonely...
She's just a sad and lonely Texas dance hall girl
