James McMurtry - These Things I've Come To Know Lyrics

She'll spend a dollar quick as a dime
She goes commando most all of the time
She writes a fine prose I'd have to say finer than mine
These things I've come to know
These things I've come to know

She likes to two-step She likes to waltz
She likes to tango no matter the cost
because she likes to spin until it leaves her a little bit lost
These things I've come to know
These things I've come to know

I don't know what made me so brazen and bold
At the time I was feeling so wasted and old
And I can't dance a lick but sometimes I can flat rock and roll
These things I've come to know
These things I've come to know

You can yell at the top of your lungs for a round
But late in the shift she'll suffer no clowns
and if you're wondering if the tattoo goes all the way down

She can change her own fuse, she can fix her own car
She can back down a drunk and run him out of the bar
She don't scare easy,but she can be pushed too far
These things I've come to know
These things I've come to know
