Trocadero - A Girl Named Tex lyrics

Have you heard the story of A girl named Beth now known as Tex Her life's tale is a bloody trail Her name fits like a glove Her daddy sighed as she slammed the door She'd said to him I'm Beth no more My life's dream is to k** for green But first I'll join the Corps Her daddy said, "You're just a girl What makes you think that you won't sink?" "My name is Tex and I'm like a hex My playground is the world" Basic turned her gun to gold Soon had it made she'd hit by trade Ama**ing k**s she proved her sk**s Make your blood run cold I once saw Texas at a bar Sippin' rye with some apple pie With a distant stare like she didn't care She said, "What's with the guitar?" I must admit my lips went numb Some bu*ter bar said, his face all red "She's too good and you're driftin' wood" Said, "boy you'd better run" Texas said, "Sir keep your peace My heart is free, and so is he I'll give it to, any man who's true" The safeties were released He drew before he replied But Tex was hot and he was not He lay dead while Texas bled Crimson on her side Yellow rose of Texas clad in black Lonely star tattooed upon her back Double Tex, she'll hit you like a truck Double Tex, and she'll mess you up Texas said, "This could be my last I guess I gotta go and now you know I want a song to live for long" It's a fair request Texas made it out I heard But her one need I did heed I think of Beth while mocking d**h Like a mocking bird Yellow rose of Texas clad in black...
