A FACT’S A FACT
KERRY PATRICK CLARK


TOM

Everything is big and bad in Texas, four seasons come drought, blizzard, twister, flood
We ride gravy trains with biscuit wheelsets, our strong coffee walks right to your cup

We never kick a fresh turd on a hot day, we keep our saddles oiled and our guns greased
We don’t drop our guns to hug a grizzly, we thank the Lord for brisket and sweet tea


CHORUS
Before Amen, we hold our hat, that’s the honest truth that the inside track
See every lie, can circle back, in Texas we learn young a fact’s a fact


In Texas we grow men like Big Foot Wallace, the biggest baddest Ranger in the land
He fought off all the Mexicans and Natives, he wrestled rattlesnakes with his bare hands

All the pretty girls live here in Texas, they always match their sundress with their boots
Make a man plow clean right through an old stump, make a cattle driving cowboy change his route


CHORUS
Say Amen, and tip his hat, that’s the honest truth that the inside track
See every lie, can circle back, in Texas we learn young a fact’s a fact


BRIDGE
In Texas we read all the Ten Commandments, we take an extra breath at number nine
The one that says we shall not bear false witness, alternative, in fact, is not a lie


CHORUS
Say Amen, replace the hat, that’s the honest truth that the inside track
See every lie, can circle back, in Texas we learn young a fact’s a fact
