Well, I met a girl from Texas 'bout a ago Hadn't known her for too long 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, I'll give you the clothes on my You can everything that I've got in my shack But if you try to leave they'll take you out in sack me and my razor will see to that"
That's the way the girls are Texas the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are 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 started reading 'bout 'till death do us 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 that 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 (Houston to San Antone) the way the girls are from Texas (Got to 'em right 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 old job, '65 Fair lane Ford Every Friday night I stop in and cash my pay check Down at the store They had a little girl worked in there, must been about seventeen She was the cutest thing I had ever
It's the same old story and I'm it wasn't too very long Before we had fallen deeply in love and I knew it was I said baby, we got to this thing right here Or my is gonna cut my throat from ear to ear, that's right
In tearful supplication, she up in my face I could feel her heart was breaking as these sad 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 girls are Texas That's the way the are from Texas
She was guilty, I was (That's the way the girls are Texas) Now, what'd you think the old judge said? (That's the way the girls are Texas) "Ah, that's the way the girls are down here in Texas dismissed!"
That's the way the girls are from (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 are from Texas That's the way the girls are from
