Well, I met a girl from Texas 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 you'd hear her knocking at my door
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 'Cause me and my razor see to that"
the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from That's the way the girls are from That's the way the girls are from
I thought about my situation, not to tarry For my own self preservation, I decided we should When the preacher started 'bout 'till death do us part I told him, "Skip it, she had understanding right from the start"
She said, "Baby, I'll you the clothes on my back You can have everything that got in my shack But if you ever try to leave they'll take you out in 'Cause me and my razor see to that"
That's the way the girls are Texas (Houston to San Antone) That's the way the 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 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 store They had a little girl worked in there, must have about seventeen She was the cutest thing I had seen
It's the same old story and I'm afraid it wasn't too very Before we had deeply in love and I knew it was wrong I said baby, we got to stop this thing here Or my woman is gonna cut my from ear to ear, that's right
In tearful supplication, she up in my face I feel her heart was breaking as these sad words she did say "You have told me you was married, baby" She out a forty-five and let me have it Right smack the eyes
That's the way the girls are from That's the way the girls are Texas
She was guilty, I was (That's the way the are from Texas) Now, what'd you that 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 girls are from (Got to love 'em or leave 'em alone, boy) That's the way the girls are Texas the way the girls are from Texas
