YOU MUST BE FROM TEXAS By Mark""Buc"" Williams(ASCAP)2014

(V1)

BEEN ON THE ROAD SO LONG GONE MISSIN’ MY TEXAS HOME

BACK AND FORTH AROUND THE NORTH TO THIS BAR STOOL ALL ALONE FEELIN’ CONFINED JUST KILLING TIME TIL I CAN HEAD BACK WEST

AND GET BACK TO THAT OLD BAYOU CITY I LOVE BEST

(PER-CHORUS)

AS I WAS ABOUT TO CALL IT A NIGHT

I CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF HER THROUGH A NEON LIGHT

(CHORUS 1)

SHE HAD A SILK LACE SHIRT, KING RANCH PURSE, LUCCHESE BOOTS AND GOLDEN TAN RUBY RED LIPS, TORTILLA CHIPS, MARGARITA IN HER HAND

BIG BRIGHT EYES LIGHT PECAN PIES SAID DON’T TELL ME LET ME GUESS

YOU MUST BE FROM TEXAS

(V2)

WITHOUT A WORD SHE STOOD AND TURNED AS IF SHE HAD A PLAN

SET DOWN HER DRINK, SMILED AND WINKED AND POINTED TOWARD THE BAND

BE IT LUCK OR FATE THEY PLAYED GEORGE STRAIT THAT’ WHEN I KNES FOR SURE HER AND ME WERE MEANT TO BE AS WE TWO STEPPED CROSS THE FLOOR

(PRE-CHORUS)

WE DANCE AND TALKED UNTIL THREE A.M.

SAID I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT YOU BUT TELL ME AGAIN

(CHORUS 2)

YOU LOVE THE RODEO THE ALAMO COUNTRY MUSIC AND DIXIELAND HAVE A COUNTRY DRAW, SAY YA’LL, SMILE WIDER THAN THE RIO GRANDE LIKE ARMADILLO’S AND PEANUT BRITTLE PLEASE TELL ME DO CONFESS YOU MUST BE FROM TEXAS

(V3)

SHE SAID IT’S BEEN FUN BUT I’VE GOT TO RUN AS SHE CLIMBED INTO HER TRUCK HOWS BOUT ME AND YOU, SOME BARBECUE AND SOME ICE COLD SHINER BOCH I SAID THAT’S BE GREAT I CAN’T WAIT AT YOUR PLACE OR AT MINE

SHE HANDED ME A NOTE SHE WROTE WITH HER ADDRESS UNDERLINED

(PRE-CHORUS)

IT READ, HAD A GOOD TIME ON OUR FIRST DATE

I’LL SEE YA REAL SOON BACK IN THE LONE STAR STATE

(CHORUS 1)

SHE HAD A SILK LACE SHIRT, KING RANCH PURSE, LUCCHESE BOOTS AND GOLDEN TAN RUBY RED LIPS, TORTILLA CHIPS, MARGARITA IN HER HAND

BIG BRIGHT EYES LIGHT PECAN PIES SAID DON’T TELL ME LET ME GUESS

YOU MUST BE FROM TEXAS

YEA YOU MUST BE FROM TEXAS

YOU COULDN’T BE FROM ANYWHERE ELSE BUT TEXAS
