West Texas Angel

Watching the sun drop cross the Pecos
Wondering how many sunsets I got left
Brings to mind my precious Maria
Still living in my heart and my head

She could be wild as a mustang filly
Fly to my arms, on the desert wind
Lord above, she loved me so tender
Couldn’t find the likes of her again

West Texas Angel, my sweetest memory
Still get lost in thoughts of you
West Texas Angel, my sweetest memory
Wish our dreams had come true
All I know is missing you
Missing You so blue (2nd hook only)
West Texas angel

Behind our backs we heard folks whispering
What’s he doing with that greaser anyway
Girls were jealous, guys’d kill to bed her
Looking back, we shouldn’t never stayed

Waited for you one night, you never showed
Left no stone unturned, never found out why
Days turned to months, no sense hanging on
Was best to leave that town behind
