Lyrics
SHE'S THE REASON I LEFT TEXAS
Writer: Jerry Lee Surber (ASCAP) Copyright 2005
SHE'S......THE REASON I LEFT TEXAS
BACK BEFORE YOU AND ME
ALL FULL OF LIFE...AND SO DARN BEAUTIFUL
JUST LIKE EVERY ANGEL LONGS TO BE
SHE'S......THE REASON I LEFT TEXAS
HER DADDY TRIED...TO ALWAYS PUT ME DOWN
SAID THAT HIS LITTLE GIRL WAS BETTER
BETTER OFF...WITHOUT ME COMIN' ROUND
SHE'S......THE REASON I LEFT TEXAS
CAUSE I KNEW ALL TOO WELL THAT I WOULD NEVER BE
THE ONE...SHE WOULD EVER CALL HER SWEETHEART
THAT'S THE ONE THING ...I KNEW I'D NEVER SEE
I DIDN'T HAVE THAT FAME OR MONEY
AND HER DADDY HATED ME
THAT'S WHY I'M SPENDIN' TIME IN TENNESSEE
HER DADDY PASSED AWAY THIS TIME LAST YEAR
AND SHE CAME LOOKIN' JUST FOR ME
DIDN'T CARE...THAT I WAS NOT A RICH MAN
LIKE HER DADDY ALWAYS WANTED ME TO BE
SHE'S......THE REASON I LEFT TEXAS
SHE'S STILL A PERFECT ANGEL...MADE FOR ME...ONLY ME
SHE'S......THE REASON I LEFT TEXAS
NOW SHE'S LYIN'...LOVIN' RIGHT HERE NEXT TO ME
YEAH...SHE'S FINALLY HERE WITH ME...IN TENNESSEE
NOW...SHE'S...THE REASON
SHE'S...THE REASON
SHE'S......THE REASON I LEFT TEXAS
YEAH..SHE'S...THE REASON
SHE'S...THE REASON
NOW SHE'S LOVIN' ME EVERYDAY IN TENNESSEE
RIGHT HERE WHERE I ALWAYS HOPED SHE'D BE
