and darling we both know
our love will always
be true
how can we abide by laws
that don't recognize the love
between us
enough is enough
let's make a stand
and get hitched in our homeland
dude let's get married in texas
i'll get married in texas with you
your eyes are blue
like the dallas skyline at noon
your buffalo soul's roamed
the great plains of my heart
and right from the start
we understood
in order to play our parts
they'll be hell to pay
but what can we say
when together we
lay-hey
dude let's get married in texas
i'll get married in texas with you
your calloused hands are all i think of
as i mend these fences to keep
our livestock corralled
lifestyle disavowed
oh lord help us
they've built these mountains so steep
but when you slam the door
on your bent-up ford
my fear's lose hold
and this world don't seem so damn cold
damnit we're texans
we do as we please
not gonna leave to live free
baby we belong here
and we'll sing
dude let's get married in texas
i'll get married in texas with you
