[Verse 1]
Desert township
Franchise, night-shift
Small minds, blank eyes
Big ol' bank-slips
I'll take big boy
He'll clean those drawers good
I'll get the safe while you start the car, pretty thing
Gimme a kiss and keep your foot on the gas, now

[Chorus]
'Cause all these people understand
Is a gun in their face or the cash in their hand
I wanna take you home and start a family, yeah
But all the stars in Texas ain't got nothin' on your eyes
When you say, "Lets hit 'em one more time"

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Motel bedside
Kansas sunlight
Tall grass, short dress
Star-crossed, hot night
Linens whisper, wrists-held-down love
Your Daddy was a crooked soul with his heavy hand and bourbon cold
I shot him dead, you hopped in, you were the prettiest thing I ever stole
[Chorus]
And all these people understand
Is a gun in their face or the cash in their hand
I wanna take you home and start a family, yeah
But all the stars in Texas ain't got nothin' on your eyes
When you say, "Lets hit 'em one more time"

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Bridge: Spoken]
We never shot a single one
They'd all been dead for years
Now stop!
One, two- one, two, three, four!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
And all these people understand
Is a gun in their face or the cash in their hand
I wanna take you home and start a family, yeah
Oh, all those stars in Texas
I'll steal 'em if you want 'em, grab you by the hips
Let's hit it baby, one more time
Let's see the goods, nice and slow
