Lyrics:
“That’s My Kind Of Woman”
She can drive a truck and rope and ride
She feels right at home right by my side
That’s my kind of woman
That’s my cup of tea
That’s my kind of woman
The girl I want for meShe’s got a pair of boots taht she just loves
And like me, likes Gus from Lonesome Dove
That’s my kind of woman
That’s my cup of tea
That’s my kind of woman
The one I want for meAfter all I’ve seen and all I’ve done
I know somewhere there is someone
Who’ll look my way and say
I want that one
That’s my kind of woman
That’s me to a “T”No matter what she wears she turns my head
On rainy days, I can’t pry her out of bed
Lord, I know the order’s pretty tall
But find me and that’ll be allThat’s my kind of woman
That’s me to a “T”
That’s my kind of woman
The girl I want for meThat’s my kind of woman
The girl I want for me
She can drive a truck and rope and ride
