In a little dance hall just outside of Dallas
I dropped my drink when she came walking by
By the time I got a grip
She slipped through my fingertips
And left me with my big mouth open wide

I should've asked her faster
But I waited too long
In a red hot minute
Like a flash she was gone
I didn't get her number
I never got her name
A natural disaster
I should've asked her faster

She was talking to some cowboy in the corner
My one last chance to ask her on the floor
And just when I got the nerve
I got just what I deserve
As I watched him waltzing her right out the door

I should've asked her faster
But I waited too long
In a red hot minute
Like a flash she was gone
I didn't get her number
I never got her name
A natural disaster
I should've asked her faster

Well there she goes, I just missed
Don't take no rocket scientist
To figure out, when I go home
I'll be there all alone
