North East Texas Woman

Jimmy Buffett



South of Oklahoma, east of New Mexico

West of Louisiana where all them cajuns go

Well, we gotta a little place called Texas

Where the women grow on trees

They're right there for the pickin' just as easy as you please



Chorus:

You better run, take hold

You're gonna get young 'fore you get old

And them Texas women is Texas gold

With kisses that are sweeter than cactus.



Now north of Amarillo, east of Old Dime Box

You can find your Cinderella or a genuine Goldilocks

And if ya don't like love attachments, if your taste in women is strange

Then go on and spend your money, boys, down in old La Grange.



And you better tell it to the world

You want to get a Lone Star girl

With her cast iron curls

And her aluminum dimple

And it's so simple.

Chorus:

You better run, take hold

You're gonna get young before you get old

And them Texas women is Texas gold

With kisses that are sweeter than cactus.



Now north of Waxahachie, east of Old Cowtown

Them Dallas women standin' up beat the others lyin' down

Well, God bless the Trinity River and any man who is unaware

Of the northeast Texas women with their cotton candy hair.



And you better tell it to the world

You want to get a Lone Star girl

With her cast iron curls

And her aluminum dimple

And it's so simple.
