Her daddy owned some oil rigs west of San Antonio
He made a lot of money but he never made it home
He did a lot of drilling, wasn't always in the ground
Usually with the waitress on the other side of town
Mama read the bible, she knew right from wrong
Just like oil and water they didn't get along

'Cause she's Daddy's little roughneck and she's Mama's beauty queen
She's been a lot of trouble since the day she turned sixteen
Boys all want to have her but she's got attitude
She's Texas, West Texas crude

Private schools and ballet, that girl has been around
Now she's drinking longnecks and letting her hair down
She's on the open market, her price is on the rise
She'll always keep you guessing 'cause you're not the only guy
If you dig below the surface you might strike it rich
You better keep her happy or you'll have a mess to fix

'Cause she's Daddy's little roughneck and she's Mama's beauty queen
She's been a lot of trouble since the day she turned sixteen
Boys all want to have her but she's got attitude
She's Texas, West Texas crude

She thinks she's so refined
But it is only in her mind

'Cause she's Daddy's little roughneck and she's Mama's beauty queen
She's been a lot of trouble since the day she turned sixteen

Yeah she's Daddy's little roughneck and she's Mama's beauty queen
She's been a lot of trouble since the day she turned sixteen
Boys all want to have her but she's got attitude
She's Texas, West Texas crude

She's West Texas crude
She's West Texas crude
She's West Texas crude
Mmmmm West Texas crude
