Well, I met a girl from 'bout a year 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 I've got in my shack But if you ever try to leave they'll you out in sack 'Cause me and my razor see to that"
That's the way the are from Texas That's the way the are from Texas That's the way the girls are from That's the way the are from Texas
I thought about my situation, not to tarry For my own self preservation, I we should marry When the preacher started reading 'bout 'till death do us I him, "Skip it, she had that understanding right from the start"
She said, "Baby, I'll give you the on my back You can everything that I've got in my shack But if you ever try to they'll take you out in sack me and my razor will see to that"
That's the way the girls are 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 down, got me a little old job, '65 Fair lane Ford Every Friday I would stop in and cash my pay check Down at the grocery had a little girl 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 wasn't too long Before we had fallen in love and I knew it was wrong I said baby, we got to this thing right here Or my woman is gonna cut my throat ear to ear, that's right
In supplication, she looked up in my face I could feel her heart was as these sad words she did say "You should told me you was married, baby" She pulled out a and let me have it smack between the eyes
That's the way the girls are from 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 said? (That's the way the girls are Texas) "Ah, that's just the way the are down here in Texas dismissed!"
That's the way the girls are from (Houston to San Antone) the way the girls are from Texas (Got to love 'em or leave 'em alone, boy) That's the way the girls are Texas That's the way the are from Texas
