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