They tell me things are bigger In Texas Now I got me a heartache that Bigger than this state. For 54 years, she loved me with All her heart Now’s the first time we’ve Ever been apart

Tobacco killed her, and that’s A fact Oh God, I love her, and I want Her back How can I make it without Her compassion, loyalty and Her smile Her affection, honesty and

Her style Will be remembered for a long, long While.
