Livingston’s Gone To Texas

by Jimmy Buffett

from the album Living and Dying in 3/4 Time

Lyrics

Nothing here is different
Nothing’s changed at all
Livingston’s gone to Texas
They say he had a ball

They say he learned to be cowboy
They say he learned to rope and ride
But I wonder if he ever
Thinks about the tears his woman cried

Now Holly, won’t you let me
try and make you smile?
You loved him as if he were your husband
Now he’ll be gone a while

Wrote he had to see the country
On starry nights he wished you were there
And so it shows wherever he goes
Deep inside you know he really cares

And nothing, here is different
Nothing’s changed at all
Livingston’s gone to Texas
The snow’s about to fall
