Lyrics
She grew up in Texas
Proud of her state
She remembers the old Alamo
She’s a lone star that’s right
You can see her at night
Out where the stars unfold
She’s an angel I know
There’s no one else like her
Caring and loving to a fault
She takes in the strays
Even on her bad days
And she only drinks whiskey in the morning
She loves to ride horses
The wild ones are best
They remind her to live every day
There’s the good and the bad
Sometimes she gets had
But she won’t let that get in her way
Her daddy left home
When she was a girl
Left her mother and her all alone
The hard times were hard
Easy not in the cards
And she only drinks whiskey in the morning
She only Drinks whiskey in the morning
Years ago She drank it at night
It made her dance on the bar
And sleep in her car
It wound her up just a little too tight
Politicians disgust her
They don’t tell the truth
She wonders why they bother to speak
She knows that they’re lying
Without even trying
I guess the truth just makes them feel weak
She plays fiddle at night
When her work is all done
She learned from a card playing gambler
She likes the feel of the bow
And everyone knows
She only drinks whiskey in the morning
Chorus
