lyrics

I was drivin' from Austin to El Paso
Through Ozona, Sonora, Balmorhea
When I stopped in Ft. Stockton
Well, my boots, they were a knockin'
The dust off those desert highways

I set down to have long, tall cool one
To have a drink, straight up from the well
When she pulled up a bar stool
She said, Welcome to the Grey Mule
The finest in West Texas saloons

She wore an old white bandana
She wore her eyes made in blue
She rode'em high in the saddle, buddy
And she had spurs on the backs of her boots

Well the women in West Texas
They're like storms in the desert
They're far and few between
I know I don't want her
But I got to thinkin' I need her
Now you see where my drinkin' got me

She said Howdy
She sho' nuff was a Texan
She was Lonestar, red white and blue
She could shoot'em down as fast as you could poor'em, buddy
She was tough as the souls on your boots

I said, Hey there Mr. Bartender
I'd like to buy her a beer
He said, Are you sure you wanna?
Mr. I think I oughta
Drink this, it'll help when she's near.

She wasn't pretty, but she sure enough was handsome
She was as tall as those Texas oil wells
When I told her that I loved her
She introduced me to her brother
He was my best man, and on weekends we raised hell!

Well the women in West Texas
They're like storms in the desert
They're far and few between
I know I don't want her
But I got to thinkin' I need her
Now you see where my drinkin' got me

She wears an old white bandana
She wears her eyes made in blue
She rides me high in the saddle, buddy
And she has spurs on the backs of her boots
