Lyrics

She's from the southern part of Texas
And she was born in a hurricane
She's from the southern part of Texas
And she was born in a hurricane
You know her mama died for freedom
She got hung by Jessie James
?
She drank the sun like ?
You know her Texas soul ?
She drank the sun like ?
She learned her lesson from the ?
? treat your brother right
?
She couldn't ?
?
