Just outside of Gainsville Texas
I met a love the girl named Alexis
Long blonde hair the bluest eyes you've seen
That woman loved me more than life
Probably she'd still be my wife
If I hadn't drink of all our plans and dreams

She wanted a home lovin' man
Not one that lived inside a beer can
But some things never change and never will
Love can't find a common ground
But one of two can't settle down
So I let her go but Lord I love her still

So drink a toast to my Alexis
She had a heart as big as Texas
Raise your glasses and take all hats off please
Set 'em up it's all on me this one's to the memory
Of my sweet Alexis Gainsville Texas queen

[ steel ]
So drink a toast to my Alexis...
my sweet Alexis Gainsville Texas queen
