Chorus:
  All my ex's live in Texas,
  And Texas is a place I'd dearly love to be.
  But all my ex's live in Texas
  And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee.
    Rosanna's down in Texarcana; wanted me to push her broom,
  And sweet Ilene's in Abilene; she forgot I hung the moon,
  And Allison in Galveston somehow lost her sanity,
  And Dimples who now lives in Temple's got the law lookin' for me.
    Repeat Chorus:
    I remember that old Frio river where I learned to swim.
  And it brings to mind another time where I wore my welcome thin.
  My transcendental meditation, I go there each night,
  But I always come back to myself long before daylight.
    Repeat Chorus:
    Some folks think I'm hidin',
  It's been rumored that I died,
  But I'm alive and well in Tennessee.
