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

She'll spend a dollar, quick as a dime
She goes Commando, most all of the time
And 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
'Cause she likes to spin 'til it leaves her a little bit lost
These things I've come to know, These things I've come to know
And I don't know what made me so brazen &
Bold, at the time I was feeling so wasted & 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
And you can yell at the top of your lungs for a round,
But late in the shift she'll suffer no clowns 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, These things I've come to know
