There's an alligator in that tank
Where my papa fished nearly every day
He said it got his dog back in '82
I never saw the 'gator, but I guess it's true
Well, maybe that's a small town thing
My daddy had a story sound like just the same
We'd buy minnows nearly every week
With cane poles in his Jeep
You're like me, Texas queen
I knew it from the start
'Cause you drink whiskey like a fountain of youth
Had a tap straight to that bar
Well, you don't say, what's your name?
I loved you all the same
'Cause you reminded me of where I was born and raised
Yeah, I reminded you of where you was born and raised
♪
There's a live oak at our farm
Lost a 100-year battle to a lightning storm
That's the only time I've ever seen my grandpa cry
He never shed a tear when his brother died
I swear it's like a kin to you
Every story you tell me sounds like my youth
I bet you got an uncle that always sings
I bet you got a kiss that tastes just like sweet tea
Texas queen, I loved you from the start
'Cause you drink whiskey like the fountain of youth
Had a tap straight to that bar
Well, you don't say, what's your name?
I loved you all the same
'Cause you reminded me of where I was born and raised
Yeah, I reminded you of where you was born and raised
I know you've had others, try to put a ring on you
'Cause you're still wild, tough as tobacco that the devil himself won't chew
There's no rhyme or reason why we choose to live this way
When your rambling boots have seen their final days
Remember me, Texas queen
Picture us together on a front porch swing
We could play cards every Friday night
Smoke a little smoke 'til we feel alright
Well, I may call your way
I loved you all the same
'Cause you reminded me of where I was born and raised
Yeah, I reminded you of where you was born and raised
Yeah, you remind me of where I was born and raised
