You can deck me out in diamonds
You can teach me city ways
You can drive in your new Mercedes Benz
But it's your sweet time you're wastin'
When you drag me out to Chastins
And expect me to dazzle all you sweet high rollin' friends
Cause I cut my teeth on go ol' Western Swang
I love a sentimental melody
Come on rosin' up them strings
Honey let those fiddles sing
Cause you can't take the Texas out of me
No you can't take the Texas out of me, ooh Lord
I'm as crazy as a calf on jemson weed
I feel that prairie moon from this New York hotel room
And you can't take the Texas out of me
So your friends sip soda water with a little twist of lime
Me I got to have Jack Daniels straight
Well, I know I don't belong here
No one plays my kind of song here
And I sure do miss that good old Lone Star State
Cause I cut my teeth on go ol' Western Swang
I love a sentimental melody
Come on rosin' up them strings
Honey, let those fiddles sing
Cause you can't take the Texas out of me
No you can't take the Texas out of me, ooh Lord
I'm as crazy as a calf on jemson weed
I feel that prairie moon from this New York hotel room
And you can't take the Texas out of me
You can't the Texas out of me
