Texas Hold 'Em

Texas Hold 'Em es una canción de la cantante estadounidense Beyoncé que fue lanzada como sencillo de su octavo álbum de estudio lanzado en 2024 y que lleva por título Cowboy Carter.

El tema ha llegado a las primeras posiciones en las listas musicales de Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido simultáneamente, junto a otros países, además de convertir a Beyoncé en la primera artista femenina negra en alcanzar el número 1 con un tema country y la primera artista en liderar siete listados de Billboard.

La canción fue escrita por la propia Beyoncé junto a Elizabeth Lowell Boland, Megan Bülow y Raphael Saadiq y ha conseguido hacer suya la música country, como si llevase toda la vida cantando este estilo musical.

Tras el éxito obtenido lanza su (Pony Up) Remix, una nueva versión del pegadizo tema cambiando algunos versos respecto al original y dándole un ritmo más R&B.

This ain't Texas (woo)
Ain't no hold 'em (hey)
So lay your cards down, down, down, down
So park your Lexus (woo)
And throw your keys up (hey)
Stick around, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round (stick around)

And I'll be damned if I can't slow dance with you
Come pour some sugar on me, honey, too
It's a real-life boogie and a real-life hoedown
Don't be a bitch, come take it to the floor now, woo, ha (woo)

There's a tornado (there's a tornado)
In my city (in my city)
Hit the basement (hit the basement)
That shit ain't pretty (that shit ain't pretty)
Rugged whiskey (rugged whiskey)
'Cause we survivin' ('cause we survivin')
Off red-cup kisses, sweet redemption, passin' time, yeah

Ooh, one step to the right
We headin' to the dive bar we always thought was nice
Ooh, run me to the left
Then spin me in the middle, boy, I can't read your mind

This ain't Texas (woo)
Ain't no hold 'em (hey)
So lay your cards down, down, down, down, oh
So park your lexus (hey)
And throw your keys up (hey)
Stick around, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round (stick around)

And I'll be damned if I cannot dance with you
Come pour some liquor on me, honey, too
It's a real-life boogie and a real-life hoedown
Don't be a, come take it to the floor now, ooh

Take it to the floor now, ooh
Now I'ma need all my cowboys to the dance floor (hoops, spurs, boots)
To the floor now, ooh (tuck, back, oops)
Get to the dance floor

Woke up this mornin', my heart keeps racin'
Straight to the bottom, we all need salvation

(come take it to the floor now, ooh)
Need you to end this drought, take me downtown
Gon' leave the truck, whiskey, baby
Let's get weekend (weekend) wasted

Might as well just throw it all
And pony up, bitch, don't hold back on me
It's a rodeo, we gon' dosido
Broke me in and then you take me home, huh
Give me all of your love, all of your sins
All of your fucks, pony up

Hats up to you, but it's boots on the ground
Sippin' on a Tennessee, spinnin' me around
I just see you with a whiskey
I'm drinkin' straight, baby, all day
It's a hell of a life
Baby, I just might
Throw a party for the whole damn town
Chasin' my sins away with brown, oh, oh, brown, oh, oh
I'ma need another round, round, round, round
One for me, one for my lover

Oh, oh, lover, oh, oh
Pony up and salute your town
Chasin' our sins away with brown
And I'll be damned if I cannot dance with you
Baby, pour that sugar and liquor on me, too
Furs, spurs, boots
(There's a whole lot of south comin' out of me

gettin' money and a whole lot of truth comin' out)
