Well, I met a girl from Texas 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 you the clothes on my back You can have everything that I've got in my But if you try to leave they'll take you out in sack 'Cause me and my razor see to that"
That's the way the are from Texas the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are Texas That's the way the girls are from
I thought about my situation, 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 that understanding from the start"
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 they'll take you out in sack 'Cause me and my will see to that"
That's the way the girls are Texas (Houston to San Antone) That's the way the are from Texas (Got to love 'em or leave 'em alone) the way the girls are from Texas That's the way the girls are from
Well we down, got me a little old job, '65 Fair lane Ford Friday night I would stop in and cash my pay check Down at the grocery had a little girl worked in there, must have been about seventeen She was the cutest thing I had seen
It's the same old story and I'm afraid it wasn't too long Before we had fallen deeply in love and I 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 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 out a forty-five and let me have 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 that the old judge said? (That's the way the girls are Texas) "Ah, that's just the way the girls are down in Texas dismissed!"
That's the way the girls are from (Houston to San Antone) the way the girls are from Texas (Got to 'em right or leave 'em alone, boy) That's the way the girls are from That's the way the are from Texas
