For those of you who have seen me play in Houston, you may remember my singing
partner, Monique Grezlik. In addition to being a member of my band, The Hot
Watts, she was also a member of the female trio, Sugar Creek, and the three of
us girls used to ride to the gigs together and then go to the ladies’ room to do
our makeup and hair. We would jack that hair up just as high as we could
because, as any self-respecting Texas woman knows, that’s how you wear your hair
in Texas! Monique was inspired by the humor in that situation and wrote Big Hair
Down In Texas. Anytime I’ve ever sung the song, people have loved it. I consider
it my theme song, and there was no question but that it would be the title track
for my first CD.
I am very proud of this work, and I hope the music resonates with listeners.
Love and blessings,
Debbie Watson

Well, I got my favorite dress on, but it might be a Wrangler night
The girls will be along in just awhile
And I know they’ll have their makeup on
a little more than they usually wear
But most of all, I know, they’ll have really big hair
Chorus:
We got big hair down in Texas on a Saturday night
You can find us on the dance floor holding some cowboy tight
Well, the band is playing hot, and it won’t be long till last call
We got big hair down in Texas, so come dancing with us, y’all
Now, some folks say it’s not the way that you look
It’s the way you are inside
Well, I know that it’s true, and I don’t mean to be unfair
But if you honky-tonk in Texas, you’ve got to have Big Hair
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus
We got big hair down in Texas
We got big hair down in Texas
We got big hair down in Texas, so come dancing with us y’all
