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
