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 kinda 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 to 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 sing
He always loved Amarillo By Morning
I shoulda taken that as 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 to 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 to 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 choosing Texas I can tell, no
Drinkin' Jack all by myself
He's choosin' Texas I can tell

C'mon baby
Ohh yeah
Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
