Rosanna's down in Texarkana
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee
All my ex's live in Texas
But it brings to mind another time
Where I wore my welcome thin
By transcendental meditation
And Allison's in Galveston
I go there each night
And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
But I always come back to myself
I remember that old Frio River
And therefore I reside in Tennessee
She forgot I hung the moon
And Dimple's who now lives in Temple's
It's been rumored that I died
But all my ex's live in Texas
Wanted me to push her broom
Somehow lost her sanity
And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
Where I learned to swim
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee
All my ex's live in Texas
But all my ex's live in Texas
Long before daylight
Got the law looking for me
But all my ex's live in Texas
Some folks think I'm hidin'
