Nothing here is different 

Nothing's changed at all 

And Livingston's gone to Texas 

They say he had a ball 



They say he learned to be a cowboy 

They say he learned to rope and ride 

But I wonder if he ever 

Thinks about the tears his woman cried 



Now Holly won't you let me 

Try and make you smile 

Now you loved him as if he were your husband 

Now he'll be gone awhile 



Wrote he had to see the the country 

On starry nights he wished that you were there 

And so it shows wherever he goes 

Deep inside you know he really cares 



It's crazy and it's different 

But it's really being free 

And reasons the world would want to question 

Make sense to you and me 



Nothing here is different 

Nothing's changed at all 

Livingston's still in Texas 

The snow's about to fall
