Lyrics

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
Rosanna's down in Texarkana
Wanted me to push her broom
Sweet Eileen's in Abilene
She forgot I hung the moon
[Verse 2]
And Alison's in Galveston
Somehow lost her sanity
And Dimples, who now lives in Temple's
Got the law looking for me
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
I remember that old Frio River
Where I learned to swim
But it brings to mind another time
Where I wore my welcome thin
[Verse 4]
By transcendental meditation
I go there each night
But I always come back to myself
Long before daylight
[Chorus]
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
Therefore, I reside in Tennessee
[Outro]
Some folks think I'm hiding
It's been rumored that I died
But I'm alive and well in Tennessee
