Mallow in the air

Smile on the face of people you meet

Cause they ain't going nowhere
 
Oh your smile has never been brighter

And your body never looked so fine

In the beautiful Texas sunshine
 
If you will feed the dogs

And honey bring me another beer

Come over here and sit by me

And tell me baby how you feel

I'd left a long time ago

And head on down to Mexico
 
Well it sure does hurt me baby

To see you honey sit and cry

And we'll just wile away the beautiful day
