Lyrics

Yee-haw
Texas
Texas
Came into this world
Daddy's little girl
Daddy made a soldier out of me
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Daddy made me dance
Daddy held my hand
Daddy liked his whisky with his tea
We rode motorcycles
Blackjack, classic vinyl
Tough girl is what I had to be
He said take care of your mother
Watch out for your sister
That's when daddy looked at me
With his gun, with his head held high
He told me not to cry
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
With his right hand on his rifle
He swore it on the Bible
My daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
He held me his arms
And he taught me to be strong
And he told me when he's gone
Here's what you do
When trouble comes to town
And men like me come around
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Texas
Daddy made me fight
It wasn't always right
But he said, girl, it's your Second Amendment
Ooh, ooh, ooh
He always played it cool
But daddy was no fool
And right before he died he said remember
He said take care of your mother
Watch out for your sister
That's when daddy looked at me
With his gun, with his head held high
He told me not to cry
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
With his right hand on his rifle
He swore it on the Bible
My daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
He held me in his arms
He taught me to be strong
He told me when he's gone
Here's what you do
When trouble comes to town
And men like me come around
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Uh-huh-huh
Oh, whoa
I think, I think
I think, I think
Hey yeah
My daddy warned me about men like you
He said, baby girl, he's playing you
He's playing you, ooh, ooh, ooh
My daddy warned me about men like you
He said, baby girl, he's playing you
He's playing you, ooh, ooh, ooh
'Cause when trouble comes in town
And men like me come around
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
'Cause when trouble comes to town
And men like me come around
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
