Aaron Watson - Lonely Lubbock Lights

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





Chorus:


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





Chorus





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





Chorus
