Simple Men Like Me

I took myself to Texas way back in sixty three I was just a simple man with a simple life you see Had plans to be a cowboy that fit my simple means I had not planned on Texas gals with tight fittin' jeans Came on the train in suit and tie - greenhorn as they say And I'd known women in the North that make me sigh today I was not untested in the art of sweet romance But I was unprepared for them tight fittin' pants They told me that Texas gals were strong an gentle too That they were smart and proper, I found that to be true I heard that they could ride a horse and keep proper house No one warned me anything about that Levi Strauss Years passed by, I roped and lied - became a fair cowpoke I was no longer treated like some tenderfooted joke I wed the bosses daughter, she treats me like a king Now I'm proud to be a Texan and wear her wedding ring So if you're bound for Texas, it's fine to view the scenes And you will gaze upon a girl with tight fittin' jeans Don't let it rattle you, my friend, enjoy what you can see There is heaven here on Earth for simple men like me 10/1/2017
