Darling come here i need to talk to you
My mama´s ill so i´m going back to texas
We can only afford but one bus ticket
You know i might be gone for some time
Debbie don´t worry doll cause you´ll always be mine

Cry on my tummy and be understanding (understand me now)
You know things like this just don´t allow planning
But let me tell you we´re never apart
Cause you live in my heart
And i still get lonely
But i know we´ll be fine (we´ll be fine)
Cause you´ll always be mine

I hate a-knowing i must be going
My mama´s dying she´s a-crying "help me"

I gotta go "no ben no, what if you find a new love in the heartland?"
Oh come on baby, i´m not that kind of man
And you´ll always be mine
"i´m not believing you´re a-leaving
Whom i´m holding when i get cold in december?
I love you what if you never do come back at all?"
Debbie don´t worry doll, hey i love you and that´s all

You know that we´ll be fine (we´ll be fine)
And you´ll always be mine
You´re the best girl of all time and you´ll always be mine
