I said I know a shrimp-boat captain out of Galveston I've been thinkin' I'd go down and work a spell Oh you never can tell, it might suit me fine Spend some time out on the bay But then there's always cowboy work in Colorado I was thinkin' that that just might be the thing Make a little pocket change, I figure what the heck Ain't nothin' standin' in my way Then she smiled at me Looked awhile at me
And that changes everything That's a whole 'nother deal That puts a brand new spin On this ol' rollin' wheel That's some powerful stuff That's a girl in love And that's the one thing That changes everything
Well I suppose on second thought this ol' town ain't so bad Wouldn't hurt me to unload this load of mine And there's a for sale sign on a little house I saw just about a mile or so from here But I've always been the kind for pullin' up stakes I ain't ever been like me to put down roots But now I'm thinkin', shoot, who am I kiddin' I ain't going anywhere 'Cause when she smiles at me Looks awhile at me.
