Beaumont

I saw you leanin' on a memory

With your back turned to the crowd

In that little bar on Murphy

Where they play guitar too loud

There were people drinkin' whiskey

There were hearts about to leave

It was cold as hell for Houston

It was almost New Years Eve

All the way from Beaumont

With a white rose in my hand

I could not wait forever babe, I hope you understand

The night was feelin' lucky

So I asked you to dance

And the way you looked up at me

Made me think I had a chance

But when I put my arms around you

I knew you weren't givin' in

I hope it will be different if I pass this way again All the way from Beaumont With a white rose in my hand I could not wait

Forever babe, I hope you understand

I walked the road to get here

With a guitar and a case

I'd of stopped in Pasadena

If I'd known about this place

But you looked like forever

Where the water meets the shore

I've been thinkin about you, baby

I can't do that anymore

I saw you leanin' on a memory

With your back turned to the crowd

In that little bar on Murphy

Where they play guitar too loud

There were people drinkin' whiskey

There were hearts about to leave

It was cold as hell for Houston

It was almost New Years Eve

All the way from Beaumont

With a white rose in my hand
