Tangled Up In Texas Lyrics

Billy Burnette Tangled Up In Texas

It was unexpected
I was on my way
I got disconnected
In a bar in Santa Fe

But when the door flew open
I thought it was the wind
I couldn't take my eyes off her
When she came walkin' in

She said "Which way you goin'?
I sure could use a ride
I need to be in Houston
Before tomorrow night"
Jumped in my ride
And we hit the road
'Fore it was over
I just couldn't let her go

I got tangled up in Texas
I was rollin' like a tumbleweed
I got tangled up in Texas
I may never get back to Tennessee

I took a job as a singer
She waits tables at night
I'm wrapped around her finger
You know I really don't mind

It ain't the way I planned it
But I'm stickin' it out
I really don't understand it
But I'm following my heart now

I got tangled up in Texas
I was rollin' like a tumble weed
I got tangled up in Texas
I may never get back
No never get back to Tennessee
Now the rain may fall
And the wind may blow
But I'm in too deep
And I'm never lettin' go

'Cause I'm tangled up in Texas
I was rollin' like a tumbleweed
I got tangled up in Texas
I may never get back
I got tangled up in Texas
I was rollin' like a tumbleweed
I got tangled up in Texas
I may never get back
No never get back to Tennessee
