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
