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
