Lyrics




I'm not going there to meet you

I'm not going because I care

Going to have dinner in Texas

Because I've never been there

Yeah we had plans to meet there

'Til you told me we were done

I'm going because I paid the airfare

Cos' broken hearts they don't refund


Going to have dinner in Texas, somewhere in San Antone

Going for dinner in Texas and that night I'll dine alone


When I bought the tickets

Accommodations were the same

'Course now you're flying 1st Class

I'm in excess baggage claim

Really liked this song a lot! Clever lyrics telling a believable story, good melody and nice chord progression.

I liked it.
