I said T for Texas T for Tennessee
Oh yeah I said T for Texas T for Tennessee
Said T for old Thelma the gal who made a wreck out of me
Well if you don't want me mama you sure don't have to start
Ah if you don't want me mama you sure don't have to start
Cause I can get more women than a passenger train cars
Yeah I said T for Texas...
I'm gonna buy me a pistol just as long as I am tall
Going to buy me a pistol just as long as I am tall
I'm gonna shoot down old mean Thelma just to watch her jump and fall
I said T for Texas...
Gonna buy me a shotgun with a great long shiny barrel oh yeah
I'm gonna buy me a shotgun with a great long shiny barrel
Gonna shoot down that rounder that stole away my girl
[ guitar ]
I'm goin' where the water tastes like cherry wine
Yeah I'm goin' where the water tastes like cherry wine
Cause the water down here in Georgia tastes like turpentine
I said T for Texas...
Oh yeah women make a fool out of me
