Oh, I wish it would rain and wash my face clean. I want to find some dark clouds to hide in here. Oh, love in a memory sparkles like diamonds. When the diamonds fall they burn like tears, When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears. Once I had a love from the Georgia pines who only cared for me. I want to find that love of twenty-two here at thirty-three. I got a heart on my right and one on my left but neither suits my needs, 'cause the one I love is way out west and he never will need me. Chorus I'm gonna pack up my two-steppin' shoes and head for the Gulf Coast plains. I want to walk the streets of my old hometown Where everybody knows my name. I'm gonna ride the train down to Galveston When the hurricanes blow in, 'cause that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine when your heart's blowing home in the wind. (Chorus)
