He was in love with a Texas girl with long raven hair
She was in love at least she said she was
And a love these days was rare
It was a time when every man stayed close to the gun
It was today when one would die,
Thumbs down in the sun
She would dance around the world on the table
Oh and many men would stare
Spend another night at Rosa's Cantina with a girl and love,
And with a little bit of danger
Now we drive 18-wheelers on a highway made of stone
And it's rare if you can find a road
With peace to ride alone
Skyscrapers hide the mountains
And prairies paved in dust
Are still just as many, and just as much a must
She would dance around the world on the table
Oh and many men would stare
Spend another night at Rosa's Cantina with a girl and love,
And with a little bit of danger
She would dance around the world on the table
Oh and many men would stare
Spend another night at Rosa's Cantina with a girl and love,
And with a little bit of danger
Bacon fries for the man that works, sun up to sun down
Patience tries an empty fork, and ya can't lay it down
Faces pale and bellys growl, in the belly of the clown
The year is 1991, mostly lost and mostly found
She would dance around the world on the table
Oh and many men would stare
Spend another night at Rosa's Cantina with a girl and love,
With a little bit of danger
