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-stepping 'round the room

And judging by the smile that's written on his face

There's nothing I can do

It doesn't take a crystal ball to see

A cowboy always finds a way to leave

Drinking 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-stepping 'round the room

And judging by the smile that's written on his face

There's nothing I can do

It doesn't take a crystal ball to see

A cowboy always finds a way to leave

Drinking 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-stepping 'round the room

And judging by the smile that's written on his face

There's nothing I can do, naw, yeah...

It doesn't take a crystal ball to see

A cowboy always finds a way to leave

Drinking jack all by myself

He's choosin' texas, I can tell, no...

Drinking jack all by myself

He's choosin' texas, I can tell.

Come on, baby

Oh yeah

Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with tennessee.
