Let me tell you about a good man
Who worked his hands to the bone
Gave everything for his family
Just went to work and back home
Every morning up early
Never missing a day
Shake the pain off get ready
Cause there's money to make
So he worked hard but made time to spend with the family
Never put them behind
After all that's what he did this for you see
He always prayed
But why did she leave him in Texas City
And went on her own way
She left a good man in Texas City
Traded love for those streets and the wild times
Now she's lost in the night
Running from something thinking that she's free
But in the end
She left a good man in Texas City
Traded love for those streets
And the wild times
Now she's lost in the night
Running from something thinking that she's free
But in the end
She left a good man in Texas City
He gave her everything he could
His heart and soul
But it wasn't enough she left I guess life took it's toll
She found the bottle and the streets became her friend
Left him standing there wondering why
What happened to his best friend
Hearing stories of her
Doing this and that with other men this can't be true
Was it really not worth fighting for
I'm sure others have asked you
After the booze wears off
Your left in a daze
Wondering why did she leave
A good man in Texas City
She left a good man in Texas City
Traded love for those streets and the wild times
Now she's lost in the night
Running from something thinking that she's free
But in the end
She left a good man in Texas City
He doesn't wait by the door
So much has happened there's no return
But deep down he knows
This was the hardest lesson learned
Good guys finish last
That's what they say
But he keeps going on
Day by Day in Texas City
Now he's
Doing the best he can
A single father
A hardworking man
He remembers the good times
Oh it makes him smile
But then he remembers
That's she's gone
Yeah it's been a while
She left a good man in Texas City
Traded love for those streets
And the wild times
Now she's lost in the night
Running from something thinking that she's free
But in the end
She left a good man in Texas City
So if you see her out there
You can see what a hard life will do
And know there's still a man in Texas City
Who's not waiting anymore on you
But still always every night he prays
That hell love again
So lord Send the right one
To A good man in Texas City
So if you see her out there
You can see what a hard life will do
And know there's still a man in Texas City
Who's not waiting anymore on you
But still always every night he prays
That hell love again

To A good man in Texas City
