Well, I met a girl Texas 'bout a year ago Hadn't her for too long 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 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 me and my razor will see to that"
That's the way the are from Texas That's the way the girls are Texas That's the way the girls are Texas That's the way the girls are from
I thought my situation, decided not to tarry 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 right from the start"
She said, "Baby, I'll give you the clothes on my 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 girls are from (Houston to San Antone) That's the way the girls are Texas (Got to 'em right or leave 'em alone) That's the way the are from Texas That's the way the girls are Texas
Well we down, got me a little old job, '65 Fair lane Ford Every night I would stop in and cash my pay check Down at the grocery They had a girl worked in there, must have been about seventeen She was the thing I had ever seen
It's the same old story and I'm it wasn't too very long we had fallen 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 throat from ear to ear, right
In tearful supplication, she looked up in my I could feel her heart was breaking as these sad she did say "You have told me you was married, baby" She pulled out a forty-five and let me it smack between the eyes
That's the way the girls are Texas That's the way the girls are from
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 girls are Texas) "Ah, just the way the girls are down here in Texas dismissed!"
That's the way the girls are Texas (Houston to San Antone) the way the girls are from Texas (Got to love 'em right or 'em alone, boy) That's the way the are from Texas That's the way the are from Texas
