Song lyrics

[Intro:]
Yee-haw
Oh, oh, oh!
Texas, Texas, oh, oh, oh, Texas!

[Verse 1:]
Came into this world
Daddy's little girl,
And daddy made a soldier out of me,
Oh, oh, oh!
Daddy made me dance,
And daddy held my hand,
Oh, oh, oh!
And daddy liked his whisky with his tea,
And we rode motorcycles,
Blackjack, classic vinyl,
Tough girl is what I had to be.
He said, ‘Take care of your mother,
Watch out for your sister.'
Oh, and that's when he gave to me...

[Chorus:]
With his gun, with his head held high
He told me not to cry,
Oh, my daddy said, ‘Shoot!'
Oh, my daddy said, ‘Shoot!'
With his right hand on his rifle,
He swore it on the Bible,
My daddy said, ‘Shoot!'
Oh, my daddy said, ‘Shoot!'
He held me in his arms,
And he taught me to be strong,
He told me when he's gone,
‘Here's what you do
When trouble comes to town,
And men like me come around...'
Oh, my daddy said, ‘Shoot!'
Oh, my daddy said, ‘Shoot!'

[Verse 2:]
Daddy made me fight,
It wasn't always right,
But he said, ‘Girl, it's your second amendment.'
Oh, oh, oh!
He always played it cool,
But daddy was no fool,
And right before he died, he said, ‘Remember...'
He said, ‘Take care of your mother,
Watch out for your sister.'
And that's when daddy looked at me...

[Chorus:]
With his gun, with his head held high
He told me not to cry,
Oh, my daddy said, ‘Shoot!'
Oh, my daddy said, ‘Shoot!'
With his right hand on his rifle,
He swore it on the Bible,
My daddy said, ‘Shoot!'
Oh, my daddy said, ‘Shoot!'
He held me in his arms,
And he taught me to be strong,
He told me when he's gone,
‘Here's what you do
When trouble comes to town,
And men like me come around...'
Oh, my daddy said, ‘Shoot!'
Oh, my daddy said, ‘Shoot!'

[Outro:]
My daddy warned me about men like you,
He said, ‘Baby girl, he's playin' you.
He's playin' you.'
My daddy warned me about men like you,
He said, ‘Baby girl, he's playin' you.
He's playin' you.'
‘Cause when trouble comes in town,
And men like me come around,
Oh, my daddy said, ‘Shoot!'
Oh, my daddy said, ‘Shoot!'
‘Cause when trouble comes to town,
And men like me come around,
Oh, my daddy said, ‘Shoot!'
Oh, my daddy said, ‘Shoot!'

— Good job, Bey, ha-ha-ha!
