Just like a gambler being pulled towards the game
She drew his attention like a moth into a flame
That’s when the small town queen of hearts met a one eyed jack
She said I’ll give you a little lovin’ boy if you give a little lovin’ back
It was dark and the feathers flew
They had nothing much else to do in Texas

Sneakin’ round midnight when the chill is in the air
Hound dogs are barking chasing who do goin’ there?
Michelle teaching Bobby you gotta look out for number one
He said “I ain’t got no money honey but I got me a gun”
That old man never made a sound
You could have heard a pin hit the ground in Texas
Bobby aimed and he played his hand
That’s when the shit really hit the fan in Texas

Oh you don’t know what it’s like to be down here
Day after day after week after month after year after year

You get what you ask for
You pays your money you takes your chance
It’s a brand new headline but the same old song and dance
They was laughing how they got away as they pulled into a border town
Where it was 16 hours later that they finally brought them down
Way down in Texas
