Ohio was a riverbank
A ten speed laying in the weeds
Cannonball off an old rope swing
Long, long summer daysTennessee was a guitar
First big dream of mine
If I made it, yeah, that'd be just fine
I just wanted to play, I just wanted to playBut Texas was green eyes crying goodbye
Was a long drive, a heartache
I'm still trying to get through
Texas was youCarolina was a black car
A big white number three
California was a yellow Jeep
Cruising down Big Sur, ha, haGeorgia was a summer job
And Bama was a spring break
I got memories all over the place
But only one still hurts, only one still hurtsLike Texas was green eyes crying goodbye
Was a long drive, a heartache
I'm still trying to get through
Texas was youTexas was my whole life waving goodbye
Thought I'd die, a heartache
I'm still trying to get throughBut Texas was you
It'll always be you
