Well, I met a girl from Texas 'bout a ago Hadn't known her for too when I had to let her go You see, she had a razor, was ten or so And every night you'd her knocking at my door
She said, "Baby, give you the clothes on my back You can have everything that I've got in my But if you try to leave they'll take you out in sack 'Cause me and my will see to that"
the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from That's the way the are from Texas the way the girls are from Texas
I thought about my situation, not to tarry For my own self preservation, I decided we marry When the preacher reading 'bout 'till death do us part I told him, "Skip it, she had that right from the start"
She said, "Baby, give you the clothes on my back You can have everything that got in my shack But if you ever try to leave take you out in sack 'Cause me and my razor see to that"
the way the girls are from Texas (Houston to San Antone) That's the way the girls are from (Got to love 'em or leave 'em alone) That's the way the girls are from That's the way the girls are Texas
Well we settled down, got me a little old job, '65 lane Ford Every Friday night I would stop in and cash my pay at the grocery store They had a little worked in there, must have been about seventeen She was the cutest I had ever seen
It's the same old story and I'm afraid it too very long Before we had fallen deeply in and I knew it was wrong I said baby, we got to stop this thing right Or my woman is gonna cut my throat from ear to ear, right
In tearful supplication, she looked up in my I feel her heart was breaking as these sad words she did say "You should have me you was married, baby" She pulled out a and let me have it Right smack the eyes
That's the way the are from Texas the way the girls are from Texas
She was guilty, I was (That's the way the are from Texas) Now, what'd you think that the old judge (That's the way the girls are Texas) "Ah, that's just the way the girls are down here in dismissed!"
That's the way the are from Texas (Houston to San Antone) That's the way the are from Texas (Got to 'em right or leave 'em alone, boy) That's the way the girls are from That's the way the girls are Texas
