Who’s the Blonde Stranger? Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Nothin' like this way out in West Texas
Galveston Bay is a whole other world
My wife's in our room gettin' over her sunburn
How would Louis L'Amour get me next to that girl?

[Verse 2]
She tells me her tan is the same all over
She asks me to dance and says, "Keep your boots on."
She never met a number one cowboy
We rolled in the sand and drank rum until dawn

[Chorus 1]
Who's the blonde stranger who entered my life?
Makin' me over in the moonlight
This side of Texas is all new to me
Who's the blonde stranger who lives by the sea?

[Verse 3]
Stayed up all night and for me, that's the first time
Sneak in the room just as cool as I can
Pull back the sheets and the bed is all empty
Except for a note left from some guy named Dan

[Verse 4]
My head got all light and the room started spinning
I stepped outside just to get some fresh air
Out on a wave was my own darlin' Lola
And some pretty boy with bleach in his hair
[Chorus 2]
Who's the blonde stranger out there with my wife?
What were they doin' in the moonlight?
This side of Texas is all new to me
Who are these strangers who live by the sea?

[Verse 5]
Back on the ranch and everything's normal
Beach Blanket Bingo comes on the TV
We talk in our sleep and then the next morning
I ask her, "Who's Dan?" and she says, "Who's Marie?"

[Chorus 1]
Who's the blonde stranger who entered my life?
Makin' me over in the moonlight
This side of Texas is all new to me
Who's the blonde stranger who lives by the sea?

[Chorus 1]
Who's the blonde stranger who entered my life?
Makin' me over in the moonlight
This side of Texas is all new to me
Who's the blonde stranger who lives by the sea?
