Aaron Watson - Texas Boys lyrics

rate me

(with Pat Green & Josh Abbott)

Now first of all I gotta warn you. Before you fall in love with me.

This here kickin' out the footlights ain't all its cracked up to be.

Well, cheap hotels and truck stop coffee its what makes the wheels go round.

I know exactly what your thinkin' girl. God only knows if I'll ever settle down.

So if you think you can take it. And enjoy the nonsense and the noise.

Girl it ain't easy holdin' on to hard livin', honky tonkin, Texas boys.

Just ask the women who have been there. Who've lived and breathed that crazy life. Ask sweet Jessie about ol' Wayland.

Ask ol' Willie's four ex-wives.

Some day your gonna want a family. Some day you may be wantin' more.

In a king size bed that's always lonely. Whenever I walk out your door.

But if you think you can take it. And enjoy the nonsense and the noise.

Girl it ain't easy holdin' on to hard livin', honky tonkin, Texas boys.

There's something about them neon signs. I'm like a moth drawn to a flame.

Blame it on a smoky bar or a cryin' steel guitar. Those pretty girls screamin' my name.

So if you think you can take it. And enjoy the nonsense and the noise.

Girl it ain't easy holdin' on to hard livin', honky tonkin, Texas boys.

Girl it ain't easy holdin' on to hard livin', honky tonkin, Texas boys.
