[Chorus:]
All my ex's live in Texas,
And Texas is a 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 Texarcana; wanted me to push her broom,
And sweet Ilene's in Abilene; she forgot I hung the moon,
And Allison in Galveston somehow lost her sanity,

And Dimples who now lives in Temple's got the law lookin' for
me.


[Chorus]

I remember that old Frio river where I learned to swim.

And it brings to mind another time where I wore my welcome
thin.
My transcendental meditation, I go there each night,

But I always come back to myself long before daylight.

[Chorus]


Some folks think I'm hidin',
It's been rumored that I died,

But I'm alive and well in Tennessee.
