[Verse 1]
Man, remember that sign?
By the fence on the road
Big black letters say
don’t test this old code
Dust on the chrome
Red clay on the boots
No need for a story
When the truth cuts through
[Pre-Chorus]
You can feel it in the hush
When the trucks roll by
You can feel it in the stare
When the sun hangs high
One wrong move
And the whole town knows
Best keep it cool
Best keep it low
[Chorus]
Don’t fuck with Texas
Don’t fuck with Texas
Every one around here
Carries a gun
Don’t fuck with Texas
Don’t fuck with Texas
Say it soft, say it clear
Boy, you better run
[Verse 2]
Gas pump glow
And a tailgate lean
Old men nod
Like they seen what they seen
Mama said, “Son
Mind your manners, slow”
‘Cause pride hits hard
Where the mesquite grows
[Pre-Chorus]
You can feel it in the hush
When the trucks roll by
You can feel it in the stare
When the sun hangs high
One wrong move
And the whole town knows
Best keep it cool
Best keep it low
[Chorus]
Don’t fuck with Texas
Don’t fuck with Texas
Every one around here
Carries a gun
Don’t fuck with Texas
Don’t fuck with Texas
Say it soft, say it clear
Boy, you better run
[Bridge]
Ain’t about talk
Ain’t about pride
It’s the line in the sand
And the fire in the eyes
Cross that border
You learn real fast
Some signs warn you
And some signs last
[Chorus]
Don’t fuck with Texas
Don’t fuck with Texas
Every one around here
Carries a gun
Don’t fuck with Texas
Don’t fuck with Texas
Say it soft, say it clear
Boy, you better run
