I think I finally reached old man status; I have no idea who that is or what that song is.

    That's not old man status. Not knowing about this artist or song is a mark of good taste.

    Here's the chorus:

    She's from Texas, I can tell by the way He's two-steppin' 'round the room And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face There's nothin' I can do It doesn't take a crystal ball to see A cowboy always finds a way to leave Drinkin' Jack all by myself He's choosin' Texas, I can tell

    I'm grateful I've never heard it because from reading the lyrics, she's pining for a total loser. On top of all that, there's even an official remix by Drake.

    Edit: fixed spelling

    Pro tip: two spaces at the end of a line create a line break without a new paragraph.

    She's from Texas, I can tell by the way
    He's two-steppin' 'round the room
    And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
    There's nothin' I can do
    It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
    A cowboy always finds a way to leave
    Drinkin' Jack all by myself
    He's choosin' Texas, I can tell
