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 Tennessee
Rosanna's down in Texarkana
Wanted me to push her broom
Sweet Eileen's in Abilene
She forgot I hung the moon
And Allison's in Galveston
Somehow lost her sanity
And Dimples, who now lives in Temples
Got the law looking for me
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
That's why I hang my hat in Tennessee (play it, boys)
I remember that old Frío River
Where I learned to swim
But it brings to mind another time
When I wore my welcome thin
By transcendental meditation
I go there each night
But I always come back to myself
Long before daylight
All my ex's live in Texas (yes, they do)
And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
Therefore, I reside in Tennessee
Some folks think I'm hidin'
It's been rumoured that I died
I'm alive and well in Tennessee
Yep
Thank you
Thank you very much
