She was born in Louisiana
under the shade of a live oak tree
She worked her way to Texas
singing gospel, soul, and R &B
She sang knock on wood,
and please, please, please
That skinny
A little blonde that broke me to my knees
Born in Louisiana
beneath the shade of a live oak tree
Well she told me she'd been waiting
for the cowboy love of her life
She said I'm all about the fun
and I don't ever want to be your wife
She said I want you to love me like I love you
Deeply and only with everything you do
She told me she'd been waiting
for the cowboy love of her life
A Texas woman got her nails in you
Ain't going back to what
you used to do
She'd take your soul and
turn your mind around
And tell the whole world
about the love that we found
A crazy Texas woman
got a bone deep hold on me
Well, she grabbed me by the heart
and said, I always want you to be free
She said, well,
you'll come back when you want to
Cause all my love is on the line with you
Crazy Texas woman,
got a bone deep hold on me
A Texas woman got her nails in you
Ain't going back to what you used to do
To take your soul and turn
your mind around
And tell the whole world
about the love
That we found
Should tell the whole world
about the love that we found
Crazy Texas woman
got a phone deep hold on me
But she grabbed me by the heart
and said I always want you to be free
She said well you come
back when you want to
cuz all my love is on the line with you
Crazy Texas woman
got a phone deep hold on me
Crazy Texas woman
got a bone deep hold on me
Crazy Texas woman
got a bone deep hold on me
Well, you can't live in the Caribbean
without being intimately aware
and a part of the music
that was born there and lives there yet.
And this is a tune
that I've loved for years, and finally,
well, you move to the Caribbean
and you figure,
might as well learn some Marley
in something happens.
And we met, I met this family
of Rastafarians in an island,
in their island enclave,
little island nation in
the eastern Caribbean
called Dominica.
And I met this wonderful family,
and and they took took me in to
their to their place
and you know said hey go down to the river man you
spend some time down there stay for days
we don't care just have
have yourself a good time
and they had wonderful food
and bananas and coconuts
and it was just awesome
I stayed there for days
and they were really really
good gardeners too
Anyway,
here's one of my favorite Marley tunes.
