Lonely Lubbock Lights - Aaron Watson

I was singing at the ol' Broken Spoke

I could have swore she came walking in

Forgot the words to a song that I wrote

Must be losing my mind once again

Her daddy is a southern Baptist preacher

I had to choose her or the bars where I sang

Now when I call I can’t seem to reach her

I’m gonna find her if it’s the last thing

So I’ll drive all night long

Till I find where we went wrong

But there’s no love in sight —

Just those lonely Lubbock lights

I was ready to give up the road

As I turned onto her street

But the silhouette there in her window

Was of someone who once looked like me

I’d placed a price on her heart

But someone else collected the bounty

Now this lost soul don’t know where to start

I think I’m lost somewhere in Hale County

That west Texas wind grew colder

As I left her further behind me

Sometimes I stop and cry on the shoulder

Cause every town I pass helps to remind me
