Northeast Texas Women - Live

South of Oklahoma, east of New Mexico
West of Louisiana, where all them Cajuns grow
Well, we got a little place called Texas
Where the women grow on trees
Yeah, right there for the pickin'
Just as easy as you please

You better run, take hold
You're gonna get young before ya get old
And them Texas women is Texas gold
With kisses sweeter than cactus, ooh

Now, north of Amarillo, east of old Dime Box
You can find your Cinderella
Or a genuine Goldilocks
And if you don't like love attachments
If your taste in women is strange
Then go ahead and spend your money, boys
Down in old La Grange

You better run, tell the world
You gotta get a Lone Star girl
With her cast iron curls
And her aluminum dimples
It's so simple, ooh

You better run, take hold
You're gonna get young before ya get old
Them Texas women is Texas gold
With kisses sweeter than cactus, ooh

Now, north of Waxahachie, east of old Cowtown
Them Dallas women standing up
Beat the others lyin' down
Well, God bless the Trinity River
And any man who is unaware
Of these northeast Texas women
And their cotton candy hair

You better run, tell the world
You wanna get a Lone Star girl
With her cast iron curls
And her aluminum dimples
It's so simple, ooh

This is a little song written by, uh, Mr. Guy Clark from, uh, Houston, Texas
And uh, we'd like to, hopefully we will do it honor for you tonight, Guy
So please welcome Alan Jackson up
Here's a little song called "Boats to Build"
Alan? Where are you?
