Raylene

Well it was Amarillo, Texas

I was dog tired 'n' bone dry

Bucket of bloods' saloon lights

Sure we're a sight for these sore eyes

Inside was some old boy

Playin' pedal steel guitar

And a pretty little thing in rhinestones

Fit for a grand ole opry star

Raylene, Raylene

My little lonestar queen

She got a shake just like a rattlesnake

And a bite that's twice as mean

Texan drawl, make a grown man crawl

Oh, Raylene

She said she was from Houston

Run off with the rodeo

Leavin' a trail of broken homes

From Dallas to El Paso

Well she threw me over her saddle

So I knew right from the start

This little queenie's gonna do a two step on my heart

Repeat chorus

Well if you're ever down in Texas

And you're lookin' to get high

The honkey tonks in the Lone Star state

Are the finest I've ever come by

Well if you see my little Raylene

Won't you give her my best

If you're lucky she just might show you

What they mean by the "Wild West"

Repeat chorus twice

Yeah, she threw a lasso 'round my love

Oh Raylene

Raylene
