[Verse 1]
The bride swayed barefoot there on the sidewalk
You could fry an egg
Not a shade of a cloud, not a breath of a breeze
Disturbed her dress or hair
Round at her feet, burst by the dust
A ghost rain dropped like tears

[Chorus]
We waltzed 'cross Texas
We waltzed by the sea
We waltzed through the tears
And it seemed like a good idea
It seemed like a good idea
How it seemed like a good idea!

[Verse 2]
The bride swayed barefoot there by the sidewalk
While the day stood still
Not a shade of a cloud, Not a breath of a breeze
Played on her face as she said
"We can't go on like nothing is wrong
Don't be that cruel to me."

[Chorus]
We waltzed 'cross Texas
We waltzed by the sea
We waltzed through the tears
And it seemed like a good idea
It seemed like a good idea
Well, it seemed like a good idea!
And it seemed like a good idea
It seemed like a good idea
Well, it seemed like a good idea!

[Outro]
The bride swayed barefoot there on the sidewalk
You could fry an egg
