I can't lead either. Actually, I'm pretty sucky at dancing..period. Unless it's hip hop of course.

What's to get??

Ladies . . . how do we explain "it"??

it's all about the DITTOS....

It always comes back to the Dittos doesn't it?

So it seems. Not sure we had them by that name in Canada, but we sure had pants with that cut and fit!

Life was so simple back then I'm ready to simplify all over agin

Midnight's almost here . . . I think I'll post my last, old-fashioned Texas song and get some ZZZZZzzzzzs.


When we dance together my world's in disguise
It's a fairyland tale that's come true
When you look at me girl with those stars in your eyes
I could waltz across Texas with you.

Waltz across Texas with you in my arms
Waltz across Texas with you
Like a storybook ending I'm lost in your charms
And I could waltz across Texas with you.

--- Instrumental ---

My heartaches and troubles are just up and gone
The moment you come into view
With your hand in mine dear I could dance on and on
And waltz across Texas with you.

Waltz across Texas with you in my arms
Waltz across Texas with you
Like a storybook ending I'm lost in your charms
And I could waltz across Texas with you.

Oh yeah, there's much to be said there, too! Besides, dancing CAN be overrated . . . if there's other stuff happenin' . . .

A Texas girl just needs a cowboy who's a strong lead . . . (did I just say that?? Must be the beer!!!)

Luv ya to pieces, girlie!!!

Okay, here's my Texas story.

My dad was born and raised in Texas--Wichita Falls to be exact. He was a tall, handsome, charming Texas boy who ended up in Akron, Ohio. (Details upon request). He married my mom and died the day I was born, passing out cigars to celebrate my birth. Very long and involved story. (As my nephew says, "something you'd read in a book or watch on Dateline.)

I've spent my adult life sailing, flying and driving to islands (driving to Key West). My faves are Key West, St. Lucia and St. Crois.

REGARDLESS OF THE SITUATION---My tagline for my life is...

I'VE GOT A CARIBBEAN SOUL I CAN BARELY CONTROL AND SOME TEXAS HIDDEN HEAR IN MY HEART!!!

Artist:George Strait
Song: Amarillo By Morning


Amarillo By Mornin'
Up from San Antone
Everything that I got
Is just what I've got on.
When that sun is high in that Texas sky,
I'll be buckin' at the county fair.
Amarillo By Mornin'
Amarillo I'll be there.

They took my saddle in Houston,
Broke my leg in Santa Fe.
Lost my wife and a girlfriend,
Somewhere along the way.
I'll be lookin' for eight
When they pull that gate
And I hope that judge ain't blind.
Amarillo By Mornin'
Amarillo's on my mind.

Amarillo By Mornin'
Up from San Antone
Everything that I got
Is just what I've got on.
I ain't got a dime,
But what I got is mine.
I ain't rich, but Lord I'm free.

Amarillo By Mornin'
Amarillo's Where I'll Be.
Amarillo By Mornin'
Amarillo's Where I'll Be.

Chris Ledoux also did this one.. ( and I wanna say prior to Georgo)

I did not see this one.. one of my very favorute "Texas " songs..


by Pat Green
?1995 Dead Horse Music (BMI)
What the hell am I doing down in Kansas City, I know damn well it ain't where I belong, think I'll quit my job come 5 o'clock, find my lonely way back home, My baby said just what are you trying to prove here, do you really want to leave me here alone, I said I'm staring at this ocean full of Yankees, and I'd rather be in Texas on my own.
Chorus
So we were southbound 35, we were headed down the road,
hit the border by the morning, let Texas fill my soul,
yeah let Texas fill my soul.
The tears start to flow about the time that I was leaving, she said I guess you better take me along, God might have made me born a Yankee, but it's time that I made Texas my home, So we loaded her stuff into my pickup, said good-bye to all my friends, called my brother down in Austin, said I'm headed home again.
Chorus
She had her feet up on the dashboard, she was holding my hand and wearing only a smile, she said it's gonna be hard to start all over, but the feeling I have will make it all worth while.
Chorus

Lyle Lovett

Three in the front seat they sat on each side
That green-and-white 58 Fairlane it would glide
Down farm roads past open fields seeming like no big deal
As it was happening I never felt a thing

But now looking back it seems like it was everything
Singing with mom just so we could hear ourselves sing
Stealing a drink from the cold can in daddy's lap
Protected by only a small thin brown paper sack

And the wind blew the echoes of long-faded voices
And they'd sing me a song that the old cowboys sang
And I didn't know what the words meant or anything
I was just singing because I was supposed to

Sing Mother Maria watch over us please
As we wonder around in this dangerous world
Thank Mother Maria there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a South Texas girl

And with the windows wide open it felt hot to us anyway
Three bound together on a day just like any day
They told me and taught me and showed me and bought me
Whatever I wanted from the corner U-tote-M

They say the name Corpus Christi means the body of Jesus
Pronounce it Refugio city folks they don't know
It looks like Palacios but sounds like
Just listen the next time you're watchin' Sid Lasher

And the wind blew the echoes of long-faded voices
And they would sing me a song that the old cowboys sang
And I didn't know what the words meant or anything
I was just singing

Saint Mother Maria watch over us please
As we wonder around in this dangerous world
Thank Mother Maria there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a South Texas girl

And I didn't know what the words meant or anything
I was just singing

And these days with car seats and open container laws
Social correctness leaves no room for Santa Claus
Sitting right next to me she looks like that used to be
Song that they sang for me

And with the windows wide open it feels hot to us anyway
Two bound together on a day just like any day
The wind blows the echoes of long-faded voices
And they sing us a song that the old cowboys sang
And now that I know what the words mean and everything
I am still singing

Saint Mother Maria watch over us please
As we wonder around in this dangerous world
Thank Mother Maria there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a South Texas girl

Saint Mother Maria watch over us please
As we stumble around in this dangerous world
Thank Mother Maria there's nothing so sweet
As the undying love of a South Texas girl
As the undying love of a South Texas girl

And that song has an awesome video on youtube:

Butterbean
Kevin Fowler

Many times I’ve been told
That old gal has no soul
She’ll chew you up, spit you out
Leave you boy, there ain’t no doubt
All the men say she’s mean
That side of her I ain’t ever seen
A little sugar, a lot of spice
A little naughty, a little nice

She’s my little butterbean
The cutest thing you’ve ever seen
Oh my little Texas queen
She’s my little butterbean

Well I met her down in San Antone
Those local boys left her alone
They all said she was the devil’s one and only child
I don’t believe it
Not one word
There ain’t one thing I’ve ever heard
That’ll change the way I feel
That girl’s got me head over heels

She’s my little butterbean
The cutest thing you’ve ever seen
Oh my little Texas queen
She’s my little butterbean

She’s my little butterbean
The cutest thing you’ve ever seen
Oh my little Texas queen
She’s my little butterbean

My little Lonestar hootchie-coo
Well I’ve chased her to Timbuktu
She’s gone from Fort Worth to Abilene
And every roadhouse in-between
She’s as hot as cakes on a griddle
That girl goes wild when the bow hits the fiddle
She loves to swing and do-se-do
That’s why I love her so

She’s my little butterbean
The cutest thing you’ve ever seen
Oh my little Texas queen
She’s my little butterbean

Hey that's my cousin!

probably not the same person though!

Hank JR..

I've got some fond memories of San Angelo,
and I've seen some beauty queens in El Paso,
but the best lookin women that I've ever seen,
have all been in Texas and all wearin jeans

Chorus:
I'm a country plowboy, not an urban cowboy,
and I dont ride bulls but I have fought some men,
drive a pickup truck,
trust in God and luck and I live to love Texas women.

I thought I'd seen beauty in faraway places,
till I looked upon those Houston faces,
spent Hollywood nights up in Beverly Hills,
but they werent nothin like one night down in BROWNSVILLE

Repeat Chorus

I'm a pretty fair judge of the opposite sex,
and I aint seen nothin that will touch em' yet,
they may be from Waco or out in Lampassas,
but one thing about it they all come from Texas.

Repeat Chorus

I'm an Oiler fan not a soccer man,
and my arms are red and so is my blood,
and they make it boil with that soft Texas drawl and I love em all,
Texas women.
