Long Way to Texas
Well, it's a long way to Texas
If you plan on wasting time
I've been longing for my baby
I can't get her off my mind
Well, it's a long way to Texas
Please, don't plan on wasting time
My baby stopped to smell the roses
Somewhere down in New Orleans
Now, the only thing I know is
That's not the place for her to be
I pray that Cajun man don't take her
Lord, he don't take my good girl from me
Well, it's a long way to Texas
If you plan on wasting time
I've been longing for my baby
I can't get her off my mind
Well, it's a long way to Texas
Please, don't plan on wasting time
My baby stopped to smell the roses
Somewhere down in Santa Fe
She never made it back to Texas
She said she couldn't find the way
She found herself a New Mexican
He done took my girl away
Uno, dos, cuatro
If you plan on wasting time
I've been longing for my baby
I can't get her off my mind
Well, it's a long way to Texas
Please, don't plan on wasting time
My baby stopped to smell the roses
Somewhere down in New Orleans
Now, the only thing I know is
That's not the place for her to be
I pray that Cajun man don't take her
Lord, he don't take my good girl from me
Well, it's a long way to Texas
If you plan on wasting time
I've been longing for my baby
I can't get her off my mind
Well, it's a long way to Texas
Please, don't plan on wasting time
My baby stopped to smell the roses
Somewhere down in Santa Fe
She never made it back to Texas
She said she couldn't find the way
She found herself a New Mexican
He done took my girl away
Uno, dos, cuatro
