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

Tthere'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
