| [VERSE 1] |
| That girl of mine, she's a real heartbreaker |
| Comes from south of Abilene |
| She's a little bit crazy, she's a wild lovemaker |
| She's a brawling barroom queen |
| A little redhead cutie, full of southern beauty |
| Some say she's just plain mean |
| But she treats me right, she's my guiding light |
| She beats all I've ever seen |
| [VERSE 2] |
| I met her last year in a poker game |
| She was taking me for a ride |
| I could see she was a woman no man could tame |
| She was genuine tiger hide |
| She was dealing from a deck I'd never seen before |
| Thought I'd gone to heaven and died |
| I heard her call me honey, as she took my money |
| Now she's right here by my side |
| [CHORUS] |
| I got a girl that'll go down fightin for me |
| She's the toughest little thing around |
| She don't take no _____ off of nobody |
| She knows how to stand her ground |
| She stole my heart from the very start, the wildest thing you'll ever see |
| She's a modern day Calamity Jane, and that's alright by me |
| [BRIDGE] |
| Well she's a genuine, bonafide, don't get on her fightin side, thunder on a stormy night |
| She's a buzz saw, above the law, quick on the draw, and she won't back down from a fight |
| When she knows that she's right..... |
| [VERSE 3] |
| Last Friday night we chased the neon light |
| Thought we'd have us just one more drink |
| Well the waitress was a flirtin, didn't seem like it was hurtin |
| Then she gave me just a little wink |
| When my baby saw her lovin, she began to push and shove and |
| There was tusslin on the barroom floor |
| And when the dust settled down, they were looking all around |
| But we were heading down the road for more |
| [REPEAT CHORUS] |
