She had eyes you could get lost in
As big and wide as the river in Rio Grande
With her sexy Texas drawl
Lips was more than this old
She was lanky, long and lean,
said she hailed from Abilene
She came here to dance the night away
So I gazed at her left hand,
saw she wore no cowboy's brand
I said, this must be my lucky
She's a tall drink of water
She's a tall drink of water
Yeah, she's a tall drink of water
And I'm a thirsty, thirsty man
She's a tall drink of water
and her desert full of sand
And I'm a -gonna drink her
Well, Linda's rancher's daughter
chugged a longstar that I'd bought her
And I just knew she was my kind of girl
I said, Hi, I'm from Dallas.
let's go give it a whirl.
right through that floral,
I just couldn't dance no more.
And she said, Oh, thanks a lot.
And then she walked away.
Well, I barely made it back to the bar,
And when about that time,
Hey, look at that tall drink of water
Look at that tall drink of water
And I'm a thirsty, thirsty man
Look at that tall drink of water
And it's dead and full of sand
And I'm gonna drink her if I can
She's a tall drink of water
She's a tall drink of water
She's a tall drink of water
And I'm a thirsty, thirsty man
She's a tall drink of water
And her desert full of sand
And I'm -a gonna drink her if I can
I'm -a gonna drink her if I can,
