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 kind of 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
Drinkin' Jack 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 should've taken
that as a warnin'
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
Drinkin' Jack all
by myself
He's choosin'
Texas, I can tell
When I'm eastbound
and down, and
I can't help but cry
'Cause I-40 gets
lonelier with every mile
I'll know that his mind
wasn't ever gonna
change
'Cause 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, naw, yeah
It doesn't take a
crystal ball to see
A cowboy always
finds a way to leave
Drinkin' Jack
all by myself
He's choosin' Texas,
I can tell, no
Drinkin' Jack all
by myself
He's choosin' Texas,
I can tell, c'mon baby
Just when I thought
I got him to fall in
love with Tennessee
