Choosin' Texas

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 judging 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 judging 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 judging by the smile that′s written on his face

There's nothin′ I can do, no

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

Come on, baby

Oh-oh, yeah

Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
