Translation
Bilingual
The sunset streams across the silver screen
And takes the cowboy down
And Texas seems a long, long way
From this rundown mining town
England's hope and glory
Has hit that lonesome trail
And drug store dreams of limousines
Marlboro Man and Levi jeans
Steel guitars and rhinestone queens
They will never let me down
ย
And I dreamed I saw America
From a two-bit border town
ย
Thought I'd get across the border
See what I could see
Put a little order
Between the Lone Star State and me
She was standing by the freeway
And I was short on company
She was a girl in Texas
But a woman in Tennessee
ย
My pickup ain't no limousine
But there's room enough for two
She slipped in down by my side
The state line came in view
She said she'd a mind to travel
I said, "That is just fine by me"
She was a girl in Texas
But a woman in Tennessee
ย
We found a little bar room
With a polka playing band
ย
We took to trading smiles
And we took to holding hands
And we danced, we danced into the morning
And changed our history
She was a girl in Texas
But a woman in Tennessee
ย
And I dreamed I saw America
From a two-bit, one-horse
Rundown, northern mining town
ย
