Dallas packed her suitcase
And drove off in
the brand new car
I bought her
She made leavin' me look easy
I wish she'd made it
look a little harder
I took her out of Texas
when she was just a girl
But old Tennessee and me
couldn't take Texas out of her
Oh how I wish
Dallas was in Tennessee
If I could move Texas east
then she'd be here with me
Then nothin' else would
come between
The two of us
If Dallas was in Tennessee
By now she's leavin' Memphis
And everythin'
we had behind her
Lord I hope the gold band
on her hand
will serve as a reminder
That true love is a treasure
That's very seldom found
But you can't stay together
if there's no common ground
Oh how I wish
Dallas was in Tennessee
If I could move Texas east
then she'd be here with me
Then nothin' else would
come between
The two of us
If Dallas was in Tennessee
Oh if Dallas was
in Tennessee
Dallas packed her suitcase
And drove off in
the brand new car
I bought her
