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 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 dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee
I remember that old Frio 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 dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And therefore I reside in Tennessee
Some folks think I'm hidin'
It's been rumored that I died
But I'm alive and well in Tennessee
