Topic: Girls From Texas - Re do ! :)
I just wasn't happy the way the original lyric sort of just didn't finish, so I added a verse and kind of melded them together to finish it off.
I also changed the arrangement to a rocking little country blues song in the key of E
I think it plays easier( alot more fun for me to play it) and makes more sense to me this way.
I am hoping this afternoon or tomorrow to be able to record a copy and torture your ears! 
It's pretty much as Phill noted on the original - one of those songs to be sung in a Texas bar.
Thanks for taking a look.
Girls from Texas By Jim Kenyon
Verse 1
.
[E]Met me a woman down in San Antone
[E] skin soft as satin but a heart of stone
with [A] fire in her eyes, whiskey on her lips
I could [E]feel the heat a comin’ off her finger tips
[B7] She wore a cowboy hat and tight blue jeans
[A] caught my attention if you [E]know what I mean
,
Verse 2
.
Well [E] we danced all night to every song
[E]I went to get a beer, she said “don’t be long”
[A]Then she took my horse, my boots, and gun
And said [E]hey cowboy “let’s have some fun”
[B7]she rode my stallion all through the night
[A]out where the stars are [E]big and bright
.
Chorus
.
[A]Mama said watch out for those naughty girls
the [E]ones with big smiles and hair full of curls
the [A]ones that are wild, and a little bit reckless
yeah,[B7]Mama said stay a[A]way from those girls from [E] Texas
yeah [B7]Mama said stay a[A]way from those girls from [E] Texas
.
Verse 3
.
[E]woke up next morning at the break of dawn
[E]lipstick on my collar, but she was gone
[A]a note on the table said we'll meet again
but I [E]don't where and she didn't say when
[B7] it was one of them nights that I can't explain
but that [A] girl from Texas just [E]drives me insane
.
and I[B7] just can't wait til we [A]meet [E] again
.
Chorus
.
[A]Mama said watch out for those naughty girls
the [E]ones with big smiles and hair full of curls
the [A]ones that are wild, and a little bit reckless

.
yeah [B7]Mama said stay a[A]way from those girls from [E] Texas

slow
but the [B7]Lord knows, I [A] need that girl from [E]Texas
yeah, the [B7]Lord knows, I [A] need that girl from [E]Texas
