You come from west Texas in a Mercedes-Benz

Your daddy, he's been working since the day he turned 18
D G
Workin' for his father, turnin' crude to gasoline

In the great 1980's when the boom came to town

And all them big ole buildings, they just shot out of the ground

[Verse 3]
D G
You're down to three houses for Greek sisterhood
D G
How 'bout them Tri Deltas, we all knew you would
D G
You're all set to major in the fashion merchandise
D G
But you'll drop it in the spring for a boy from Alamo Heights
D G
Of course he'll be handsome, and he'll have a good last name
D G
Ya'll can sit in Jerry's box at the Cowboy football game

Take him home for Christmas, take him out to see the rigs

Where the roughnecks run the auger, and dance the black gold jig

D G
Some years down the road with your scripture rehearsed
