All My Ex's Live in Texas

All my ex's live in Texas

Texas is the place I'd really 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

Oh, Allison's in Galveston

Somehow lost her sanity

And Dimple's who now lives in Temple's

Got the law looking for me.

All my ex's live in Texas

And Texas is the place I'd really love to be

But all my ex's live in Texas

And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee.

(instrumental)

I remember that old Rio River

Where I learned to swim

But it brings to mind another time

Where 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

And Texas is the place I'd really love to be

But all my ex's live in Texas

And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee.

Some folks think I'm hidin'

Some folks think I've died

But I'm alive and well in Tennessee...
