His name was Travis, her's was Vanessa

Two Texas kids from west of Odessa

Young love and lust defy rational thinkin'

They were hotter than an oil field on fire When you're that young, everything's crucial

You don't wait around for parental approval

So he asked the question and she answered, "Yes"

They jumped in his truck and tore out for Juarez They had an informal wedding, south of the border

Got a room with a view for three bucks and a quarter

On a Mexican night, you don't care what might lie ahead

They had a wonderful week in Juarez Now, when the bottom fell out of his chosen vocation

They were too broke, to move to a greener location

Bills you can't pay, put a strain on devotion

They decided to just call it quits Well, it might have been luck or divine intervention

But on the way to the lawyer divorce wasn't mentioned

He said, "I still love you", she looked at him

And said, "I know a great way to start over again" They had an informal wedding, south of the border

Got a room with a view for three bucks and a quarter

On a Mexican night, you don't care what might lie ahead

They had a wonderful week in Juarez His name was Travis, her's was Vanessa

Two Texas kids from west of Odessa
