Northeast Texas Women

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?
