i met a man from
texas
in california
i met a man from
texas with blue bonnet
eyes
a man from texas
who smiled at me
and i smiled back
a man from texas
who opened his face
enough to show me
all the storms
he fought
all the hottest
summers he
worshiped
all the lakeside
fires
this man who told me
all about this
girl named phyllis
his jewel that he stole
from
texas
and when he did
i saw phyllis
dancing there in his
beautiful
heart
