Texas Boys Lyrics

Aaron Watson Texas Boys

(with Pat Green & Josh Abbott)

Now first of all I gotta warn you. Before you fall in
love with me.
This here kickin’ out the footlights ain’t all its
cracked up to be.
Well, cheap hotels and truck stop coffee its what makes
the wheels go round.
I know exactly what your thinkin’ girl. God only knows
if I’ll ever settle down.

So if you think you can take it. And enjoy the nonsense
and the noise.
Girl it ain’t easy holdin’ on to hard livin’, honky
tonkin, Texas boys.

Just ask the women who have been there. Who’ve lived
and breathed that crazy life. Ask sweet Jessie about
ol’ Wayland.
Ask ol’ Willie’s four ex-wives.
Some day your gonna want a family. Some day you may be
wantin’ more.
In a king size bed that’s always lonely. Whenever I
walk out your door.

But if you think you can take it. And enjoy the
nonsense and the noise.
Girl it ain’t easy holdin’ on to hard livin’, honky
tonkin, Texas boys.

There’s something about them neon signs. I’m like a
moth drawn to a flame.
Blame it on a smoky bar or a cryin’ steel guitar. Those
pretty girls screamin’ my name.

So if you think you can take it. And enjoy the nonsense
and the noise.
Girl it ain’t easy holdin’ on to hard livin’, honky
tonkin, Texas boys.

Girl it ain’t easy holdin’ on to hard livin’, honky
tonkin, Texas boys.
