"The Coast Of Texas" lyrics

She packed up her suntan lotion
And her bathing suits last night
I drove her out to the airport
She caught an early morning flight
It seems like this time every year
She gets the urge to go
I'm sitting high on a barstool
She's high above the Gulf of Mexico

I'll just hang around this honky-tonk in Houston
Wondering what she sees in islands and palm trees
If she wanted sand, she could have gone to Galveston
Could it be the coast of Texas isn't far enough for me?

She's soaking up the sun in Jamaica
I'm soaking up the suds back here
She kicks back with a Mai Tai
I pop the top on Lone Star Beer
Her postcard reads "I wish you were here"
But I'll bet that's not true
'Cause I might embarrass her out on the beach
In my swimming trunks and cowboy boots

I'll just hang around this honky-tonk in Houston
Wondering what she sees in islands and palm trees
If she wanted sand, she could have gone to Galveston
Could it be the coast of Texas isn't far enough for me?
I hope some Caribbean cowboy don't steal her love from me
