Beaumont Lyrics
I saw you leaning on a memory
With your back turned to the crowd
In that little bar on Murphy
Where they play guitar too loud
There were people drinking whiskey
There were hearts about to leave
It was cold as hell for Houston
It was almost New Year's Eve
All the way from Beaumont
With a white rose in my hand
I could not wait forever babe
I hope you understand
The night was feeling lucky
So I asked you to dance
And the way you looked up at me
Made me think I had a chance
But I put my arms around you
I knew you weren't giving in
I hope it will be different
if I pass this way again
All the way from Beaumont
With a white rose in my hand
I could not wait forever babe
I hope you understand
I walked the road to get here
With a guitar and a case
I'd of stopped in Pasadena
If I'd known about this place
But you looked like forever
Where the water meets the shore
I've been thinkin about you, baby
I can't do that anymore
I saw you leaning on a memory
With your back turned to the crowd
In that little bar on Murphy
Where they play guitar too loud
There were people drinking whiskey
There were hearts about to leave
It was cold as hell for Houston
It was almost New Year's Eve
All the way from Beaumont
With a white rose in my hand
I could not wait forever babe
I hope you understand
With your back turned to the crowd
In that little bar on Murphy
Where they play guitar too loud
There were people drinking whiskey
There were hearts about to leave
It was cold as hell for Houston
It was almost New Year's Eve
With a white rose in my hand
I could not wait forever babe
I hope you understand
So I asked you to dance
And the way you looked up at me
Made me think I had a chance
But I put my arms around you
I knew you weren't giving in
I hope it will be different
if I pass this way again
With a white rose in my hand
I could not wait forever babe
I hope you understand
With a guitar and a case
I'd of stopped in Pasadena
If I'd known about this place
But you looked like forever
Where the water meets the shore
I've been thinkin about you, baby
I can't do that anymore
With your back turned to the crowd
In that little bar on Murphy
Where they play guitar too loud
There were people drinking whiskey
There were hearts about to leave
It was cold as hell for Houston
It was almost New Year's Eve
With a white rose in my hand
I could not wait forever babe
I hope you understand

A beautiful song of unrequited love. Hayes Carll is a true storyteller.
@RockStarWannaB He really is an incredible storyteller. It's a shame more people dont know his music

@RockStarWannaB @dane101554 why do you think his music didn't appeal to more people?? Or was he just not "marketed" right??

@RockStarWannaB Its just a matter of exposure. He's not really country or Rock and Roll so there's no airplay for his music. Similar to John Prine. All I can say is everyone I have ever shared his music with loved it.
