Hors d'oeuvres? Man, I don't eat that bird food When I get hungry I saddle up my gear I ride to find a juicy Longhorn Texas steer I round him up, knock him down Tie him 'fore he hits the ground And cut myself a steak right off his rear Like any straight shooting (ou-huu-uh) Hard riding, law abiding Gal who came from Texas would do, ooh, ooh When I get thirsty I'd stand for a spell (ah-ha) Set my hands working Dig myself a well Some day I hope from the soil I'll strike water instead of oil We're tired of drinking texaco and shell Like any straight shooting (uuh) Hard riding, law abiding Claim jumping (uuh) Stetson wearing, cussing, swearing Gal who came from Texas would do, ooh, ooh Out in the moonlight I pick a man who's near (Sing it, sister, like we don't need the money) I take along my six-gun (yeah) Just for atmosphere They usually do what we say Love me, honor and obey We only shoot the ones that ain't sincere Like any straight shooting (uuh) Hard riding, law abiding Claim jumping (uuh) Stetson wearing Cussing, swearing Bowlegged, rifle toteing (uuh) Petticoating Gal who came from Texas would do-ooh-ooh We're never lonely, 'cause when the roundup ends We sit and chew the cactus (cactus) With my prairie friends The coyotes howl to the sky Those rattlesnakes, how they can lie They gossip like a pair of prairie hens Like any straight shooting Hard riding, law abiding Gal who came from Texas would do-ooh-ooh When I get married, I'm gonna change my brand (ah-ra) I'm trading in my bridle for a wedding band She's gonna hang up her spurs, raise some little cockleburs And settle down around the rio grande Like any straight shooting Hard riding, law abiding Claim jumping Stetson wearing Cussing, swearing Gal who came from Texas would do-ooh-ooh-ooh When you're unhappy, and don't know what to do Just lasso all your troubles, shout a yip-ya-hoo Throw your cares in a bag Stand and wave your Texas flag You'll find the eyes of Texas are on you Like any straight shooting Hard riding, law abiding Claim jumping Stetson wearing Cussing, swearing Bowlegged, rifle toteing Petticoating Gal who came from Texas Gal who came from Texas Gal who came from Texas Would do-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Yahoo
