High Tone Woman

George Strait · Somewhere Down in Texas [MCA Nashville] [2005]

(Leslie Satcher, Tim Ryan Rouillier)



I've been watchin' you watchin' her

Watchin' herself in the mirror,

In her tailor-made dress

And her long blonde hair,

And her big diamond rings

And her custom-made shoes.



And I can by the look on your face

That you're makin' your move,

But she hasn't got time

For a man who's tongue-tied

And she doesn't like cowboys

And thinks less of fools.



Chorus:

So, boy, don't you saddle yourself

To a high-tone woman

She'll cut up your heart like an old credit card,

When the fun and the money runs out

I've never seen an

Uptown, well-read, thorougbred, high-tone woman

Sink as low as you.



--- Instrumental ---



Hey, I'm on your side; don't go gettin' me wrong now

You're not a bad fellow at all

But you're out of her league

So stay in the bleachers

Son, you couldn't please her

If you had it all.



So, boy, don't you saddle yourself

To a high-tone woman

She'll cut up your heart like an old credit card,

When the fun and the money runs out.



Chorus:

You're a fool if you saddle yourself

To a high-tone woman (I seen her.)

I've seen her cut up a heart like an old credit card,

When the fun and the money runs out

I've never seen an

Uptown, well-read, thorougbred, high-tone woman

Sink as low as you.



Oh no, I've never seen an

Uptown, well-read, thorougbred, high-tone woman

Sink as low as you...
