Lyrics -
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
Before it was over I just couldn't let her go
I got tangled up in Texas
I was rollin' like a tumble weed
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 (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 tumble weed
I got tangled up in Texas
I may never get back (never get back)
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
