I said I know a shrimp-boat captain out of Galveston

I've been thinkin' I'd go down and work a spell

Oh you never can tell, it might suit me fine

Spend some time out on the bay

But then there's always cowboy work in Colorado

I was thinkin' that that just might be the thing

Make a little pocket change, I figure what the heck

Ain't nothin' standin' in my way

Then she smiled at me

Looked awhile at me



And that changes everything

That's a whole 'nother deal

That puts a brand new spin

On this ol' rollin' wheel

That's some powerful stuff

That's a girl in love

And that's the one thing

That changes everything



Well I suppose on second thought this ol' town ain't so bad

Wouldn't hurt me to unload this load of mine

And there's a for sale sign on a little house

I saw just about a mile or so from here

But I've always been the kind for pullin' up stakes

I ain't ever been like me to put down roots

But now I'm thinkin', shoot, who am I kiddin'

I ain't going anywhere

'Cause when she smiles at me

Looks awhile at me
