We sat down to write a song, looking for a hit.
                                 B7
Tryin' to sound just like us, Trying to sound hip.
A                                          E
When you got your neighbours, knocking on your door.
E                                           B7               E
Saying we don't wanna hear that same old country sound no more.

              A                       E
And we were, stealing that old texas swing.
A                                             E7
Shaking hands with mr Bean, trying to do our thing
A                                                             E
We weren't raised on beef and beans, if you know just what i mean
          A            B7        E
We were stealing that old texas swing.

Well my girlfriend called me on the phone, to pick her up at 9
                                                 B7
But the guys come around with this little song, trying to pick my mind
   A                             E
I said I won't be long, even though I knew i'd be late
E                                             B7               E
When it comes to pick and swing with the boys I just can't hesitate.

               A                      E
And we were, stealing that old texas swing.
A                                                E7
Shaking hands with mr Bean, trying to do our thing
A                                                             E
We weren't raised on beef and beans if you know just what I mean
         A            B7         E
We were stealing that old texas swing.

              A                       E
And we were, stealing that old texas swing.
A                                             E7

A                                                             E
