Well, T for Texas, T for Tennessee
T for Texas, T for Tennessee
T for Thelma, the gal that made a wreck out of me

If you dont want me mama, you sure dont have to stall, oh no
If you dont want me mama, you sure dont have to stall
Cause I can get more women than a passenger train can haul

But Im going with a woman drinks like cherry wine
Im going with water drinks like cherry wine
Cause its Georgia woman tastes like turpentine

If you dont want me woman sure dont have to stall
If you dont want me woman you sure dont have to stall
For I can get more women than a passenger train can haul

Id rather drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log
Id rather drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log
Than to be here in Atlanta, get treated like a dirty dog
Women make a fool out of me

If youre ever down in Mobile you can look me up
If youre ever down in Mobile be sure to look me up
And if youre ever in Atlanta tell Lucille to go to hell
Women make a fool out of me

T for Texas, T for Tennessee, lord, lord
T for Texas, T for Tennessee
T for Thelma, the gal that made a wreck out of me
