Being Texans

You see the thing about us is There's a common misconception We're all "howdy do" Glued to boots Havin' shotgun weddins A hillybily buncha brutes Friday nights are meant for wrestlin' If that's what you heard, partner You got the wrong message When ya'll are takin pills for the pain as you get older We're polishing our pistols Countin' ammo in our holster It's just another day We call it going soldier Some might say we're reckless Like we're wearing a noose Around our neck with a death wish We call it putting on our shoes While we beat the sun up before breakfast And you gotta admit, that's impressive We don't think of it that much We just call it being Texans
