Red Dirt Blues

Most of it was Texas!
M. Shelton

[Verse 1]
Took a little road trip, they said, “ it’ll be fun”  
I headed down south.  One truck, and a couple buds
Crossed the Lone Star state line, ten miles in, stopped at a watering hole
There was a band onstage playing ol George Strait and, I saw a yellow rose
She was a Redhead cutie dancing by the bar. But her jealous ex-bo wasn't on my radar

[CHORUS 1]
It ain’t my fault. I’m in trouble with the law
Yeah, sure, I got caught.
I couldn’t resist her southern drawl
If you really wanna know where to place the blame, I tell ya, I been framed
Maybe I was reckless,
Most of it was Texas. 

[Verse 2]
Sitting in the courthouse, attorney said, “we’ll soon be done.
No need to worry, I know the judge. I’ll get ya out of here son"
I stood up when I heard “all rise”, I could not believe my eyes
Sitting up there on the bench, was a nametag, guess what it said
That good ol judge had the same last name, as that good ol boy I punched in the face…And I said...

[CHORUS 2]
It ain’t my fault, I’m in trouble with the law
Yeah, sure, I got caught. 
He swung first, everybody saw
If you really wanna know where to place the blame, I tell ya, I been framed
Maybe I was reckless,
Most of it was Texas!!

[Guitar and fiddle instrumental solo]

[PRECHORUS]
Now that good ol girl from way back when, visits me in jail and dances again...

[CHORUS 3]
It ain’t my fault! I liked something that I saw
Yeah, sure I got caught, my little red head was worth it all
some of it, a lot of it, most of it was Texas
some of it, a lot of it, most of it…was Texas!! (TEXAS!!)

Most of it was Texas!
