Just when I thought I got him
to fall in love with Tennessee
I should've 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 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
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
Oh no
Drinkin' Jack all by myself
He's choosin' Texas I can tell
Come on baby
Oh ho yeah
Just when I thought I got him
to fall in love with Tennessee
