Intro

He left Houston, Texas, in somebody else's car

A little luck and a Chevrolet might take him pretty far

Sometimes a man just gets a restless feeling in his veins

 He pulled onto the highway and slipped off his wedding ring

She was gonna meet him in a hotel out of town

She waited smoking cigarettes and throwing whiskey down

She looked down at her watch then checked the clock up on the wall

 She was getting out of Texas even if she had to crawl

If you're looking for trouble then you found it son

She was looking for love but isn't everyone

 Someday they'd always have a story to tell

 They both got what they wanted in that Texas hotel

He wasn't in this for the long run he wasn't going anywhere

She was headed out to LA but he didn't really care

 'Cause like a bus down at the depot there'll be another comin' by

 He was gonna have to tell her the truth

 But it wouldn't be tonight

If you're looking for trouble then you found it son

She was looking for love but isn't everyone

 Someday they'd always have a story to tell

 They both got what they wanted in that Texas hotel

Now that whiskey made her lonely, the whiskey made her mean

When they woke up the next day she was somewhere in between

 He was going back to Houston before his wife got too concerned

 So she lit up one more cigarette and just watched that Chevy burn

If you're looking for trouble then you found it son

She was looking for love but isn't everyone

 Someday they'd always have a story to tell

 They both got what they wanted in that Texas hotel
