Well, I met a girl from Texas a year ago known her for too long when I had to let her go You see, she had a razor, was ten or so And every night hear her knocking at my door
She said, "Baby, I'll give you the 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 That's the way the girls are from the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are Texas
I thought about my situation, not to tarry For my own self preservation, I we should marry When the preacher started reading 'bout death do us part I told him, "Skip it, she had that understanding from the start"
She said, "Baby, give you the clothes 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 (Houston to San Antone) That's the way the are from Texas (Got to love 'em or leave 'em alone) That's the way the girls are Texas the way the girls are from Texas
Well we settled down, got me a little old job, '65 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 about She was the cutest thing I had ever
It's the same old story and I'm afraid it wasn't too long Before we had fallen deeply in love and I knew it was I said baby, we got to stop this right here Or my woman is gonna cut my throat from ear to ear, right
In supplication, she looked up in my face I could 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 smack between the eyes
That's the way the are from Texas the way the girls are from Texas
She was guilty, I was (That's the way the are from Texas) Now, what'd you think that the old 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 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 girls are Texas the way the girls are from Texas
