New Moon in Texas

I wait for the light but the moon is new
I have no sight, I can't see you
I tried for your image and hoped in vain
No flash in the pan, no recoil, no pain

But still the reminders all over the place
Bring unwanted memories, though I can't see your face
No pictures to view, they've all gone away
No sad songs to sing, and nothing to say

I've met a few women who hail from Texas
I even met one who drove a red Lexus
But I shy away from them very quickly
You taught me that, there's no Texan for me

Except maybe one, who works in the dirt
And wears boots and jeans, and a pretty white shirt
She speaks with the accent, and looks just like you
But there's an honest heart there, and passion too

Does she have the stuff galley wenches are made of
I don't have the answer, but I know it's a trade off
Some questions unanswered still hang overhead
And questions unasked, pillow talk on the bed

In dreams I see her strong at the wheel
I sure do like the way she made me feel
