Choosin’ Texas Songtext
von Ella Langley

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 judgin′ 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 sin
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 judgin′ 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 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 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 choosin′ Texas, I can tell
No, drinkin′ 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
