A FACT’S A FACT
KERRY PATRICK CLARK

Everything is big and bad in Texas,
Four seasons come drought, blizzard, twister, flood
We ride gravy trains with biscuit wheel sets
Our strong coffee walks right to your cup

We never kick a fresh turd on a hot day
We keep our saddles oiled and our guns greased
We don’t drop our guns to hug a grizzly
We thank the Lord for brisket and sweet tea


CHORUS
Before Amen, we hold our hat,
That’s the honest truth that the inside track
See every lie, can circle back
In Texas we learn young a fact’s a fact

In Texas we grow men like Big Foot Wallace
The biggest baddest Ranger in the land
He fought off all the Mexicans and Natives,
He wrestled rattlesnakes with his bare hands

All the pretty girls live here in Texas
They always match their sundress with their boots
Make a man plow clean right through an old stump
Make a cattle driving cowboy change his route


CHORUS
Say Amen, and tip his hat
That’s the honest truth that the inside track
See every lie, can circle back
In Texas we learn young a fact’s a fact


BRIDGE
In Texas we read all the Ten Commandments
We take an extra breath at number nine
The one that says we shall not bear false witness
Alternative, in fact, is not a lie


CHORUS
Say Amen, replace the hat
That’s the honest truth that the inside track
See every lie, can circle back
In Texas we learn young a fact’s a fact
In Texas we learn young a fact’s a fact
