Chords.

Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee,

I shoulda known better than to take him back to Abilene.

I put him right back into her arms,

I wasn’t a match for that kinda spark.

She’s from Texas, I can tell by the way,

he’s two steppin’ ’round the room.

And judgin’ by the smile that’s written on his face –

there’s nothin’ I can do.

It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see

a cowboy always finds a way to leave.

Countin’ tears all by myself –

he’s choosin’ Texas, I can tell.

Well, I guess he forgot about the Smoky Mountain rain,

them old Hank tunes, the Memphis blues we used to sing.

He always loved Amarillo By Morning,

I shoulda taken that as a warning.

She’s from Texas, I can tell by the way,

he’s two steppin’ ’round the room.

And judgin’ by the smile that’s written on his face –

there’s nothin’ I can do.

It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see

a cowboy always finds a way to leave.

Countin’ tears all by myself –

he’s choosin’ Texas, I can tell.

When I’m eastbound and down and I can’t help but cry

cuz I-40 gets lonelier with every mile.

I’ll know that his mind wasn’t ever gonna change

cuz his heart still belongs to the Lone Star State.

She’s from Texas, I can tell by the way,

he’s two steppin’ ’round the room.

And judgin’ by the smile that’s written on his face –

there’s nothin’ I can do.

It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see

a cowboy always finds a way to leave.

Countin’ tears all by myself –

he’s choosin’ Texas, I can tell, no.

Countin’ tears all by myself –

he’s choosin’ Texas, I can tell.

Come on baby.

Oh-oh yeh,

just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee…
