I thought my situation, decided not to tarry For my own self preservation, I decided we should When the preacher started reading 'bout 'till do us part I told him, "Skip it, she had that right from the start"

That's the way the girls are from That's the way the are from Texas

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, boy) That's the way the girls are Texas That's the way the are from Texas
