Lyrics James McMurtry

James McMurtry

These Things I've Come to Know

She'll spend a dollar quick as a dime

She goes commando most all of the time

She writes a fine prose I'd have to say finer than mine

These things I've come to know

These things I've come to know

She likes to two-step She likes to waltz

She likes to tango no matter the cost

because she likes to spin until it leaves her a little bit lost

These things I've come to know

These things I've come to know

I don't know what made me so brazen and bold

At the time I was feeling so wasted and old

And I can't dance a lick but sometimes I can flat rock and roll

These things I've come to know

These things I've come to know

You can yell at the top of your lungs for a round

But late in the shift she'll suffer no clowns

and if you're wondering if the tattoo goes all the way down

She can change her own fuse, she can fix her own car

She can back down a drunk and run him out of the bar

She don't scare easy,but she can be pushed too far

These things I've come to know

These things I've come to know
