Lyrics:
April 3, 1980, on a cover of a magazine.
Two country super novas burned like gasoline.
In a world of bricks and mortar, they were drawn like moths to flame.
Two fated, star crossed lovers, everybody knew their name
She was Delta dawn from Texas, never paid no never mind.
till she caught the eyes of a married man with a handsome whiskey smile
Hit records, in the spotlight, everything they touched went gold
They were lightning in a bottle, too hot to touch, too hot to hold
When the Wichita lineman was gentle on my mind
The rhinestone cowboy’s gone and taken his last ride
On a beach down in Galveston they’re raising up their beers,
to the life, the man, the music
and Tanya Tucker’s tears
They were king and queen of country, from Hollywood to Memphis
Down home uptown, just a couple of jet set legends
But the cursing and the cussing wasn’t kept behind closed doors
The best brought out the worst and the world could not ignore
no the world could not ignore
When the Wichita lineman was gentle on my mind
The rhinestone cowboy’s gone and taken his last ride
On a beach down in Galveston they’re raising up their beers,
to the life, the man, the music
and Tanya Tucker’s tears
When the Wichita lineman was gentle on my mind
The rhinestone cowboy’s gone and taken his last ride
On a beach down in Galveston they’re raising up their beers,
to the life, the man, the music and Tanya Tucker’s tears
to the life, the man, the music and Tanya Tucker’s tears
