I'm living here in Texas working the ranch all day

Running the fences and counting the stock

and slinging heavy bales of hay.

But my heart's flown across the prairie

and nested in Tennessee

in the heart of an emerald eyed, redhead beauty

and I wanna bring her home with me.

CHORUS

She's a green eyed chestnut filly

coltishly long legged and sweet

and she roped me in with her pixie grin

and knocked me off my feet

She wasn't much for schooling

I can teach her to read and write

But she can ride a horse like she was born in the saddle

This could be the perfect life.

We can fix the place up cozy

I'll buy her jeans and dresses and boots

Go 2 steppin' with her every Saturday night

then cuddle like we're in cahoots.

CHORUS

Well I caught that Tennessee filly

and trucked her back to Texas with me

and we're happy as doves in a house full of love

and now I am the father of three.

3 green eyed red haired cowgirls

beauties like their mother, each one.

Every night at dinner I feel like a winner

cause our life together is nothing but fun.

They are green eyed chestnut fillies

coltishly long legged and sweet.

They roped me in with their pixie grins and

and knocked me right off of my feet.
