You Can’t Take The Texas Out Of Me

[Verse 1]
You can deck me out in diamonds
You can teach me city ways
You can drive in your new Mercedes Benz
But it's your sweet time you're wasting
When you drag me out to Chastins
And expect me to dazzle all your smooth high rolling friends

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I cut my teeth on good ol' Western Swing
I love a sentimental melody
Come on and rosin up the strings
Honey, let those fiddles sing
'Cause you can't take the Texas out of me

[Chorus]
No, you can't take the Texas out of me, oh no
I'm as crazy as a calf on jimsonweed
I can feel that prairie moon from this New York hotel room
And you can't take the Texas out of me

[Verse 2]
So your friends sip soda water with a little twist of lime
Me, I got to have Jack Daniels straight
Well, I know I don't belong here
No one plays my kind of song here
And I sure do miss that good old Lone Star State

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I cut my teeth on gopd ol' Western Swing
I love a sentimental melody
Come on and rosin up the strings
Honey, let those fiddles sing
'Cause you can't take the Texas out of me

[Chorus]
No, you can't take the Texas out of me, Lord, Lord
I'm as crazy as a calf on jimsonweed
Well, I can feel that prairie moon from this New York hotel room
And you can't take the Texas out of me

[Outro]
You can't the Texas out of me
