Lufkin, Texas
You sound like east Texas to me.
A little out of place and ill at ease
In this smokey bar up north
Where a lost cowboy and a southern girl
Chance to meet.
Have you ever been to Lufkin?
Let’s pretend that’s where we are.
In a little bar that I danced in once
With the boy that I loved.
The jukebox here is broken
And the beer is never cold
But you could take me back to Lufkin
If you take me in your arms.
I miss Port Hudson in the summer.
The pine trees and the sticky heat.
But there’s no going home.
I left long ago and home would not
Remember me.
Have you ever been to Lufkin?
Let’s pretend that’s where we are.
In a little bar that I danced in once
With the boy that I loved.
The jukebox here is broken
And the beer is never cold
But you could take me back to Lufkin
If you take me in your arms.
Just take me back to Lufkin.

Bartender Song
If I can get home tonight
I’m gonna treat my baby right.
He’s the only one I love
Don’t know why it’s never enough.
I know I’m really wrong
And when he’s down my heart just falls
But my good intentions are lost
When the jukebox lights come on.
Bartender, will you turn this music off?
If you can let the tap run dry
I might stand a chance tonight
Cause my baby said one more time
I get out of line it’ll be my fault
But he’ll be the one who takes a walk.
I could have gone the other way.
I should have stayed home today.
If I’d only said no thanks
To the cowboy and the drink.
Baby’s gonna know where I been
It won’t help me to pretend.
I could have found the door
But that song started playing again.
Bartender, will you turn this music off?
If you can let the tap run dry
I might stand a chance tonight
Cause my baby said one more time
I get out of line it’ll be my fault
But he’ll be the one who takes a walk.
