I Was On My Way To California

I was on my way to California
the evening sun was going down
I stopped for the night in a small Texas town
I walked into a local diner
to grab a bite to eat
the waitress there she sure looked sweet

my heart was pounding
I felt all flushed inside
I was feeling a strange emotion
something I could not hide
and we made small conversation
but I was much too shy
I found myself back at the motel
wondering why


Later that night in a honky tonk
I was sipping on a beer
I heard a familiar voice
whisper in my ear

and she said come dance with me
please come dance with me
forget about California come dance with me

One year later we got married
I never left that Texas town
sure seems strange how things got turned around

My heart was pounding I felt all flushed inside
It's a great life I'm living
with her by myside

I was on my way to California
