I’ve played every cover band bar on 6th st
We sang along got high to some Willie 
Swore one day I’d play that Houston Rodeo
I learned to love a lone-star sunset 
I never thought I ever would’ve left it
But now I don’t mess with Texas anymore 

[CHORUS]
I can’t drive down the 35 highway
Can’t touch a two-steppin’ honky tonk floor
I guess it’s true what they say about exes
Should’ve listened to George
Cause she went and broke my heart like them cowboys 
A heartache bigger than ever before
Yeah, I learned my lesson
So I don’t mess with Texas anymore 

She was a wild mustang out of Dallas 
Soon as met her there was no way around it
She beat every California girl I’ve ever known
Hot as the desert 
Should’ve known better 
She was gonna lead me on but I let her
Last I heard she left Fort Worth for San Antone 

[CHORUS 2x]
Yeah, I learned my lesson 
So I don’t mess with Texas anymore
