The Girls From Texas

[Verse 1]
I met a girl from Texas not long ago
We dated about a month and I decided to let her go
Oh yeah but she pulled a razor about ten inches or so
And every night you'll hear her knocking upon my door
Yes I am now

[Verse 2]
She said, "Jimmy, I'll give you the clothes offa my back
You can have every dime that I've got in my shack
But if you ever try to leave they'll have to pick you up in a sack
Because me and my razor will see to that"
Yes she did y'all
Because

[Chorus]
That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas, yeah
Well listen

[Verse 3]
I thought, I thought it over, I decided not to tarry
For my own safety, people, I decided I better marry, yeah but
When the preacher got to the part about 'till death do us part
I told him to skip it, she had that understanding right from the start
Yeah she did now

[Chorus - Outro]
That's the way the girls are from Texas (Houston to San Antone)
That's the way the girls are from Texas (Love 'em right or leave 'em alone now)
That's the way the girls are from Texas (I don't care if it's Houston or Beaumont)
That's the way the girls are (And this one I met was from another town called Cotton Chute now)
That's the way the girls are from Texas (I don't care if it's Beaumont)
That's the way the girls are from Texas (Yeah yeah, Dallas)
(Oh now I'm trying to tell y'all now, whoa)
That's the way the girls are from Texas
(And I wannna say one thing before I leave)
That's the way
