I can't count the cities and towns that I've left behind
Me I'm still drifting, running on rodeo time
Tonight a steel guitar's playing
and I'm alone at a table for two
Chasing 8 second glory
I've sure come a long way for you
I'm West Texas lonely
Tennessee whiskey blue
Lost between Lynchburg
And a three-quarter El Paso moon
Without you to hold me
I'm still torn half in two
I'm West Texas lonely
and Tennessee whiskey blue
Well a week from tonight
I'll see Amarillo again
And I can't help but wonder
If you'll be there in the stands
I guess you remember
That spotlight gets dimmer each day
Cause being a cowboy
Always means riding away
And I'm West Texas lonely
And Tennessee whiskey blue
Lost between Lynchburg
And a three-quarter El Paso moon
Without you to hold me
I'm still torn half in two
I'm West Texas lonely
And Tennessee whiskey blue
I'm West Texas lonely
And Tennessee whiskey blue
