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 hear her at my door
She said, "Baby, I'll give you the clothes on my 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"
That's the way the girls are Texas the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are Texas That's the way the girls are from
I thought about my situation, not to tarry For my own self preservation, I decided we 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, 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 take you out in me and my razor will see to that"
That's the way the girls are Texas (Houston to San Antone) the way the girls are from Texas (Got to love 'em or leave 'em alone) the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are Texas
Well we settled down, got me a little old job, '65 Fair lane Every Friday I would stop in and cash my pay check Down at the grocery They had a little worked in there, must have been about seventeen She was the cutest thing I had seen
the same old story and I'm afraid it wasn't too very long Before we had fallen deeply in love and I it was wrong I said baby, we got to stop thing right here Or my woman is gonna cut my throat 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 smack the eyes
That's the way the girls are Texas That's the way the girls are Texas
She was guilty, I was (That's the way the are from Texas) Now, you think that the old judge said? (That's the way the are from Texas) "Ah, that's just the way the girls are down here in dismissed!"
That's the way the girls are Texas (Houston to San Antone) That's the way the girls are from (Got to 'em right or leave 'em alone, boy) That's the way the girls are from the way the girls are from Texas
