All My Ex's Live In Texas

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
