[Verse 1]
I held you close beneath the Texas moon
The stars fell silent
They knew too soon
Your laugh was young
Your eyes so bright
But I let you go
That last Texas night
[Prechorus]
The wind whispered stay
I turned away
My heart’s a ghost in the oilfield’s sway
[Chorus]
Last night in Texas
I held your hand
Watched you slip through like desert sand
You were young
You were mine
But I left it all behind
Last night in Texas
For the last time
[Verse 2]
Now I chase the sun where the black gold flows
Through the fields of fire
Where no love grows
Your memory’s a flame that won’t burn out
A quiet scream I can’t live without
[Prechorus]
The rig hums a tune
But it don’t compare
To the sound of you
To your golden hair
[Chorus]
Last night in Texas
I held your hand
Watched you slip through like desert sand
You were young
You were mine
But I left it all behind
Last night in Texas
For the last time
