The Girls from Texas Ry Cooder

[Verse 1]
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 off my back
You can have everything that I've got in my shack
But if you ever try to leave they'll take you out in a sack
'Cause me and my razor will see to that"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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, she had that understanding right from the start"
She said, "Baby, I'll give you the clothes off my back
You can have everything that I've got in my shack
But if you ever try to leave they'll take you out in a sack
'Cause me and my razor will see to that"

[Chorus]
That's the way the girls are from Texas (Houston to San Antone)
That's the way the girls are from Texas (Got to love 'em right or leave 'em alone)
That's the way the girls are from Texas
Yeah that's the way the girls are from Texas
