All My Ex's Live In Texas Lyrics


All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in TennesseeRosanna's down in Texarkana
Wanted me to push her broom
Sweet Eileen's in Abilene
She forgot I hung the moonAnd Allison's in Galveston
Somehow lost her sanity
And Dimple's who now lives in Temple's
Got the law looking for meAll my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in TennesseeI remember that old Frio river
Where I learned to swim
And it brings to mind another time
Where I wore my welcome thinBy transcendental meditation
I go there each night
But I always come back to myself

Long before daylightAll my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And therefore I reside in TennesseeSome folks think I'm hidin'
It's been rumored that I died
But I'm alive and well in Tennessee

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
