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