In a little dance hall just outside of dallas

I dropped my drink when she came walking by

By the time I got a grip

She slipped through my fingertips

And left me with my big mouth open wide

Chorus:

I should've asked her faster

But I waited too long

In a red hot minute

Like a flash she was gone

I didn't get her number

I never got her name

A natural disaster

I should've asked her faster

She was talking to some cowboy in the corner

My one last chance to ask her on the floor

And just when I got the nerve

I got just what I deserve

As I watched him waltzing her right out the door

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

Well there she goes, I just missed

Don't take no rocket scientist

To figure out, when I go home

I'll be there all alone

Repeat Chorus
