                Texas Women(Don't Stay Lonely Long)     written by:Kix Brooks
                                                                 Ed Honeycutt
                recorded by Brooks and Dunn on "Hard Working Man"
[Intro]
  C
         C
1.Well, I'll bet by the time she gets to Tulsa
                                         F
  She'll be pullin' on them tight blue jeans
                              C
  She'll go down to Cowboy's, buy herself a cold one
              G
  And on a Friday night in Dallas, she's a cowboy's dream
    C
  Something tells me she'll sit out the first one
                                                 F
  Then they'll play George Strait and she'll be gone
                           C
  'Cause heaven knows that girl was born to two-step
                   G                 C
  And Texas women don't stay lonely long

   F                                G
C.It's a fact that women like the one I left
             C            G
  Can find somebody else  anytime they want
   F                                G
  It's a shame, but I'm afraid the one I love
         C
  She don't like waiting much
   G                             C
  Texas women don't stay lonely long

2.I'd sure like to think she'd wait forever
  Welcome me back in with open arms
  But she don't walkthe floor, she don't count the teardrops
  And she don't pick up pieces from no broken heart
  I wish I could call and say I'm sorry
  But there's nobody sitting by the phone
  You know she meant it when she told me that she loved me
  But Texas women don't stay lonely long

C.
