There was a debutante in Dallas,nearly blew my mind. 
She was raised on caviar and real fine wine. 
She didn't like hillbilly music,and  
that was more than i could take. 
I left that lovely little cowgirl waitin' in the lonestar state. 
Cause I had to go where the music was loud, 
I was right at home with a honky tonk croud
