NEVER BEEN TO TEXAS

(Written by Jeff Ridler)

Verse1

MY EX’S AINT FROM TEXAS

AND I DON’T EAT BLACK-EYED PEAS

BUT I CAN DO THE TWO-STEP

I LOVE GIRLS IN TIGHT BLUE JEANS

I’LL TAKE SOME FIDDLIN’ AND A COWGIRL

OUT THERE ON THAT HARDWOOD FLOOR

AND WHEN SHE’S GOOD AT BEING BAD

I’LL HAVE TO HAVE SOME MORE

Verse2

NO I AINT FROM ALABAMA

BUT I KNOW ALL THEIR SONGS

SOME DAY I’LL HEAR A FIDDLE

IN A TEXAS HONKY TONK

THERE SOUTH OF MASON DIXON

IS A PLACE I’D LOVE TO BE

I KNOW I’D HAVE A GOOD TIME THERE

AND THEY’D SEE MORE OF ME

BUT…

CHORUS

I’VE NEVER BEEN TO TEXAS

THERE DOWN BY LOUISIANN’

AND I WAS NOT BORN AND RAISED

A MISSISSIPPI MAN

BUT SOME SONGS ABOUT THE SOUTHLAND

MAKES ME DO ALL I CAN

TO SING AND SWING WITH OLD BOB WILLS

JUST LIKE A TEXAS MAN

Verse3

NOW Y’ALL DO TALK FUNNY

TO US FOLKS FROM WAY OUT WEST

BUT LIKE A MINNESOTA FARMER

SOME OF US CAN FIX A FENCE

WE LOVE OUR COWS AND COWGIRLS

BUT IT WOULD BE JUST FINE

TO MOSEY WAY ON DOWN YOUR WAY

AND TRY SOME LONE STAR TIME

CUZ…

CHORUS

WELL…

CHORUS

TAG

WE’LL SING AND SWING WITH OLD BOB WILLS

JUST LIKE A TEXAS MAN
