BIGGER IN TEXAS

SO I WENT DANCING LAST WEEKEND IN TEXAS
AND MET A NICE MAN OVER BEER
SEE, I LEARNED TO TWO STEP IN LOUISIANA
AND IT’S NOT ALL THAT DIFFERENT OUT HERE

“WE LIKE EVERYTHING BIGGER IN TEXAS”
WAS NEAR THE FIRST THING THAT CAME FROM HIS MOUTH
AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT IT WAS CHARMING
CAUSE THEY KNOW HOW TO FLIRT IN THE SOUTH

WELL, ONE THING JUST LED TO ANOTHER
WE LAUGHED, AND WE STEPPED AND WE WHIRLED.
HE SAID ‘TELL ME YOU’RE COMING TO LIVE HERE’
AND ‘I NEED SOME FOOD, DON’T YOU, GIRL?’

HIS PLATE COULD HAVE FED MY WHOLE FAMILY
INCLUDING MY COUSINS AND AUNTS
AFTER DINNER WE KISSED IN HIS PICKUP
AND FUMBLED WITH BUTTONS AND PANTS

THEN HE PULLED A GLOVE OUT OF HIS GLOVE COMPARTMENT
(HIS TRUCK WAS BIGGER THAN MY APARTMENT)
WE CLIMBED IN BACK AND YOU CAN GUESS THE REST

HE HAD GIANT SHOULDERS AND EYES TO GET LOST IN
AND HIS HEART WAS BIGGER THAN AUSTIN HAS GOTTEN
BUT WHEN PUSH CAME TO SHOVE CAME TO MAKING SOME LOVE
WELL, NOT EVERYTHING’S BIGGER IN TEXAS
