Ernest Tubb Texas Dance Hall Girl
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
