Well, I met a girl from '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 night you'd hear her knocking at my door
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 you out in sack 'Cause me and my razor see to that"
That's the way the girls are from That's the way the girls are Texas That's the way the are from Texas the way the girls are from Texas
I thought my situation, decided not to tarry For my own self preservation, I decided we marry the preacher started reading 'bout 'till death do us part I told him, "Skip it, she had understanding right from the start"
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 me and my razor will see to that"

In tearful supplication, she up in my face 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 and let me have it Right smack between the
the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the are from Texas
