歌曲歌詞
Well I met a girl from Texas 'bout a year ago
Hadn't known her for too long
When I had to let her go
You see she had a razor was ten inches or so
And every night you'd hear her knocking at my door
She said "Baby I'll give you the clothes on my back
You can have everything that I've got in my shack
But if you ever try to leave they'll take your out in sack
'Cause me and my razor will see to that"
That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas
I thought about my situation decided not to tarry
For my own self preservation
I decided we should marry
When the preacher started reading
'Bout 'till death do us part
I told him "Skip it
We had that understanding right from the start"
She said "Baby I'll give you the clothes on my back
You can have everything that I've got in my shack
But if you ever try to leave they'll take your out in sack
'Cause me and my razor will see to that"
That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas
Well we settled down got me a little old job
'65 Fairlane Ford
Every Friday night I would stop in
And cash my pay check down at the grocery
Store
They had a little girl worked in there
Must have been about seventeen
She was the cutest thing I had ever seen
It's the same old story
And I'm afraid it wasn't too very long
Before we had fallen deeply in love
And I knew it was wrong
I said baby we got to stop this thing right here
Or my woman is gonna cut my throat
From ear to ear that's right
In tearful supplication
She looked up in my face
I could feel her heart was breaking
As these sad words she did say
"You should have told me you was married baby
She pulled out a forty-five and let me have it
Right smack between the eyes
That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas
She was guilty I was dead
Now what'd you think that the old judge said
"Ah that's just the way the girls are down here in Texas
Case dismissed "
That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas
That's the way the girls are from Texas
