texarkana heartbreak - american nomads lyrics

Loading...

in texarkana with my clothes all threadbare
i once saw a girl with long raven hair
she glanced at me with her eyes of starlight
never had i seen such a beautiful sight

she walked down main street a picture of class
her image framed in the shop window glass
my eyes did follow this vision of grace
but my spirit could not keep up with her pace

oh, texarkana my heart it does ache
left me so lonesome
with just this heartbreak

i kept my distance, still under her spell
it was love at first sight with this east texas belle
she stopped to sit on a bench in the shade
when i tried to speak, well my words got dismayed

i walked on past her pretending to be
an important man, but no, that’s not me
i just kept on walking and cursing my nerves
my own self*respect i need to preserve

oh, texarkana my heart it does ache
left me so lonesome
with just this heartbreak
when i turned around she was not alone
a man had sat down, yes, i should have known
you can’t leave a beauty like this for too long
she’ll exile the weak and embrace the strong

they got up to leave, and yes, arm in arm
somehow she’d bought into his courtly charm
i stood and waited alone once again
oh how i wish i were lucky now and then

oh, texarkana my heart it does ache
left me so lonesome
with just this heartbreak

oh, texarkana my heart it does ache
left me so lonesome
with just this heartbreak
