Texas Tornado Rose

TEXAS TORNADO ROSE

Her pa was a Texas bronc buster
He could ride so the cowboys all say
Her mother served beer in a west Texas dance hall
They both had wild, wooly ways
When Rosie first blew into Dallas
Something went wrong with my heart
I felt like a brahma was buckin’ inside me
that must have been love from the start


Chorus She’s wild as a Texas Tornado
She’s wild as the norther’ that blows
My love is as big as the whole state of Texas
For my Texas Tornado Rose

She yells like a painted Comanche
Rides broncs whether gentle or mean
She dances all night in those west Texas dance halls
She’s wild as I’ve ever seen
I know that I never could tame her
I’d lose her if I ever tried
So I threw my rope on that wild Texas twister
And I’m hangin’ on for the ride

Repeat Chorus

My life’s never far from disaster
Sometimes I get dizzy and weak
But as much as I love her, I know I’ll keep tryin’
To hang on and stay on my feet
I love her in spite of her weakness
I pray that someday she’ll slow down
And if she decides on some little bronc-busters
This cowboy will still be around
