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
