Song recalling Texas girl with underwear on (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

galveston

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'song recalling texas' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'girl with underwear on' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'gal' ().
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'underwear' becomes 'vest'.
'gal'+'vest'+'on'='GALVESTON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for galveston that I've seen before include "Glen Campbell hit" , "Texan resort" , "Texas resort" .)
