Lyrics
He married his high school sweetheart
In his small West Texas town
He placed her high on a pedestal
And he never once took her down
He answered a call to the army
Not long after they wed
And before he left for boot camp
He held her close and said
Tonight I'm still in Texas
Cozying up beside you
I don't know what tomorrow might hold
But I'll do what I gotta do
At least tonight I'm still in Texas
They gave him a two-week furlough
And he went home to his bride
They made up for lost time
Their love ran deep and wide
The night before he shipped out
He cried a single tear
He pulled her close in his strong arms
And whispered in her ear
Tonight I'm still in Texas
Cozying up beside you
I don't know what tomorrow might hold
But I'll do what I gotta do
At least tonight I'm still in Texas
He was flown across the ocean
To fight in a foreign land
And he never even heard the bullet
That sent him falling onto the sand
By the time they reached him
He was reaching to the skies
He was calling her name and saying these words
Before he closed his eyes
Tonight I'm going to Texas
To keep watch over you
I didn't know what tomorrow might hold
But I did what I had to do
At least tonight I'm going to Texas
At least tonight I'm going to Texas
