She came down from Chicago on a cold December day
Sayin' she was ready for a change
She told me she would like to see a whole lot more of Texas
I told her I'd see what I could arrange

I took her down to Houston, planned to dance all night at Gilley's
It was good to have her in my arms
She said the state of Texas beats the cold winds of Chicago
I said I'd do what I could to keep her warm

Then I introduced her to a cowboy friend of mine
He made his home outside of San Antone
It wasn't long before he threw his rope around her heart
Then she left me dancing all alone

Well, I wish I knew less about Texas
And more about the rest of the world
I wish I knew less about Texas
And more about Chicago dancin' girls

Her and that old cowboy finally danced the night away
And I saw them waltzing out the door
And I accidentally overheard that lady say
"Cowboy I love Texas more and more"

Well, I wish I knew less about Texas
And more about the rest of the world
I wish I knew less about Texas
And more about Chicago dancin' girls

And more about Chicago dancin' girls
