lyrics
Verse 1
Lonely boy, make yourself complete
Go get yourself a girl down in north Mesquite
She’ll give you heaven, don’t you give her hell
She don’t need you for a thing, but she’ll treat you well
Verse 2
You don’t know, so now, you’ve been told
Don’t break a heart down in San Antone
She’ll stay by your side, no matter where you go
Defend her man like The Alamo
Chorus 1
Just be glad if your baby is a lone star lady
Make your heartbeat racy and your mind a bit hazy
Around the world you’ll never find nothing like a Texas girl
Verse 3
You don’t have the stomach
to toy with the love of ladies up in Lubbock
If you ever give her any reason to doubt
Like a preacher with a demon, she’ll cast you out
Chorus 1
Just be glad if your baby is a lone star lady
Make your heart a bit achy and your knees a bit shaky
Around the world you’ll never find nothing like a Texas girl
Verse 4
Don’t you trifle and don’t you mess
with them women down in Houston or up in Dallas
She’s probably packing heat in that $2,000 purse
Run, you better run, boy, it will only get worse
Chorus 3
Don’t you ever act shady to a lone star lady
Give her love and a little safety and a man that ain’t so lazy
Around the world you’ll never find nothing like a Texas girl
Lonely boy, make yourself complete
Go get yourself a girl down in north Mesquite
She’ll give you heaven, don’t you give her hell
She don’t need you for a thing, but she’ll treat you well
Verse 2
You don’t know, so now, you’ve been told
Don’t break a heart down in San Antone
She’ll stay by your side, no matter where you go
Defend her man like The Alamo
Chorus 1
Just be glad if your baby is a lone star lady
Make your heartbeat racy and your mind a bit hazy
Around the world you’ll never find nothing like a Texas girl
Verse 3
You don’t have the stomach
to toy with the love of ladies up in Lubbock
If you ever give her any reason to doubt
Like a preacher with a demon, she’ll cast you out
Chorus 1
Just be glad if your baby is a lone star lady
Make your heart a bit achy and your knees a bit shaky
Around the world you’ll never find nothing like a Texas girl
Verse 4
Don’t you trifle and don’t you mess
with them women down in Houston or up in Dallas
She’s probably packing heat in that $2,000 purse
Run, you better run, boy, it will only get worse
Chorus 3
Don’t you ever act shady to a lone star lady
Give her love and a little safety and a man that ain’t so lazy
Around the world you’ll never find nothing like a Texas girl
