I said I know a shrimp-boat captain out of Galveston
I´ve been thinkin´ I´d go down and work a spell
Oh you never can tell, it might suit me fine
Spend some time out on the bay
But then there´s always cowboy work in Colorado
I was thinkin´ that that just might be the thing
Make a little pocket change, I figure what the heck
Ain´t nothin´ standin´ in my way
Then she smiled at me
Looked awhile at me

(Chorus)

And that changes everything
That´s a whole ´nother deal
That puts a brand new spin
On this ol´ rollin´ wheel
That´s some powerful stuff
That´s a girl in love
And that´s the one thing
That changes everything

Well I suppose on second thought this ol´ town ain´t so bad
Wouldn´t hurt me to unload this load of mine
And there´s a for sale sign on a little house
I saw just about a mile or so from here
But I´ve always been the kind for pullin´ up stakes
I ain´t ever been like me to put down roots
But now I´m thinkin´, shoot, who am I kiddin´
I ain´t going anywhere
´Cause when she smiles at me
Looks awhile at me

(Repeat Chorus)
