Dwight Yoakam - T For Texas lyrics

rate me

(Jimmie Rodgers)

I said T for Texas

T for Tennessee

Oh, yeah, I said T for Texas

T for Tennessee

Said, T for old Thelma

The gal who made a wreck out of me

Well, if you don't want me momma

You sure don't have to start

Ah, if you don't want me momma

You sure don't have to start

'Cause I can get more women

Than a passenger train car

Yeah, I said T for Texas

T for Tennessee

Whoa, T for Texas

T for Tennessee

I said, T for old Thelma

The gal who made a wreck out of me

I'm gonna buy me a pistol

Just as long as I am tall

I'm going to buy me a pistol

Just as long as I am tall

I'm gonna shoot down old mean Thelma

Just to watch her jump and fall

I said T for Texas

T for Tennessee

I said T for Texas

T for Tennessee

T for old Thelma

The gal who made a wreck out of me

Gonna buy me a shotgun

With a great long shiny barrel, oh yeah

I'm gonna buy me a shotgun

With a great long shiny barrel

Gonna shoot down that rounder

That stole away my girl

I'm going where the water

Tastes like cherry wine

Yeah, I'm going where the water

Tastes like cherry wine

'Cause the water down here in Georgia

Tastes like turpentine

I said T for Texas

T for Tennessee

Oh I said, T for Texas

T for Tennessee

I said T for old Thelma

The gal who made a wreck out of me

Oh yeah, women make a fool out of me
