Livingston's Gone to Texas

By: Jimmy Buffett
1971
Nothing here is different
Nothing's changed at all
And Livingston's gone to Texas
They say he had a ball
They say he learned to be a cowboy
They say he learned to rope and ride
But I wonder if he ever
Thinks about the tears his woman cried
Now Holly won't you let me
Try and make you smile
Now you loved him as if he were your husband
Now he'll be gone awhile
Wrote he had to see the the country
On starry nights he wished that you were there
And so it shows wherever he goes
Deep inside you know he really cares
It's crazy and it's different
But it's really being free
And reasons the world would want to question
Make sense to you and me
Nothing here is different
Nothing's changed at all
Livingston's still in Texas
The snow's about to fall
