    Verse 1
    Well, 
    I met 
    a girl 
    from 

    Texas 
    'bout 
    a year 
    ago 

    Hadn't 
    known 
    her for 
    too 
    long 

    when 
    I 
    had 
    to 
    let 
    her go 

    You see, 
    she 
    had 
    a razor, 

    was 
    ten 
    inches 
    or 
    so 

    And 
    every 
    night 
    you'd 
    hear 

    her knocking 
    at 
    my 
    door 

    She 
    said, 
    Baby, 

    I'll 
    give 
    you 
    the clothes 
    on 
    my 
    back 

    You 
    can 
    have 
    everything 
    that 

    I've 
    got 
    in 
    my 
    shack 

    But if 
    you 
    ever 
    try 
    to leave 
    they'll 

    take 
    your 
    out 
    in 
    sack 

    Cause 
    me 
    and 
    my razor 

    will 
    see 
    to 
    that" 

    That's 
    the way 
    the 
    girls 

    are 
    from 
    Texas 

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    the 
    girls 

    are 
    from 
    Texas 

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    the 
    girls 
    are 
    from 
    Texas 

    I 
    thought 
    about 
    my 
    situation, 

    decided 
    not 
    to tarry 

    For my 
    own 
    self 
    preservation 
    I 

    decided 
    we should marry 

    When the 
    preacher 
    started 

    reading 
    bout 
    till 
    death 
    do 
    us 
    part 

    I 
    told 
    him, "Skip 
    it, 

    we had 
    that 
    understanding 
    right 
    from 
    the 
    start" 

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    the 
    girls 

    are 
    from 
    Texas 

    That's 
    the way 
    the 
    girls 
    are 
    from 

    Texas 
    Houston 
    to San 
    Antone 

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    the 
    girls 
    are 
    from 
    Texas 
    got 
    to 
    love'em right 

    or leave em 
    alone 




    Well, 
    we settled 
    down, 
    got me a 
    little old job, 

    65 Fairlane Ford 

    Every 
    Friday 
    night 
    I would 
    stop in and 
    cash 
    my 

    pay check 
    down at the 
    grocery 
    store 

    They had 
    a little girl 
    worked 
    in there, 

    must have 
    been about seventeen 

    She was 
    the 
    cutest 
    thing 

    I 
    had 
    ever 
    seen 

    It's the 
    same old 
    story 
    and 
    I'm 

    afraid it wasn't 
    too 
    very long 

    Before 
    we had 
    fallen 
    deeply 

    in love 
    and 
    I knew 
    it was wrong 

    I 
    said baby, 

    we got 
    to 
    stop this 
    thing 
    right here 

    Or my 
    woman is gonna 
    cut my 
    throat 
    from ear 
    to 
    ear, 

    that's 
    right 

    Tearful 
    suffocation, 

    she looked 
    up 
    in my 
    face 

    I could 
    feel 
    her 
    heart 
    was 
    break
    ing 

    as 
    these sad 
    words she 
    did 
    say 

    "You 
    should 
    have told 
    me 
    you was 
    mar
    ried, 

    baby" 

    She 
    pulled 
    out a forty- 
    five 
    and let 
    me 
    have 
    it, 

    right 
    smack 
    between 
    the 
    eyes 

    That's 
    the way 
    the 
    girls 

    are 
    from 
    Texas 

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    the 
    girls 

    are 
    from 
    Texas 

    That's the 
    way the girls 
    are from 
    Texas 

    She 
    was 
    guilty, 
    I 
    was dead 

    Now, what'd 
    you 
    think that 

    the old judge 
    said 
    ? 

    "Ah, that's 
    just 
    the way 
    the girls 
    are down 

    here in 
    Texas 
    Case 
    dismissed!" 

    That's 
    the 
    way the 
    girls 

    are 
    from 
    Texas 

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    the 
    girls 
    are 
    from 

    Texas 
    Houston 
    to San 
    Antone 

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    the 
    girls 
    are 
    from 
    Texas 
    got 
    to 

    love'em right or leave'em alone, 
    boy

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
