Lyrics: All My Ex's Live in Texas

(Sanger D.Shafer - Lyndia J.Shafer)
George Strait & Jimmy Buffett

Chorus:
All my ex's live in Texas
Texas is the place I'd really 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 Texarkana
Wanted me to push her broom
Sweet Eileen's in Abilene
She forgot I hung the moon
Oh, Allison's in Galveston
Somehow lost her sanity
And Dimple's who now lives in Temple's
Got the law looking for me.

Chorus:
All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd really love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee.

--- Instrumental ---

I remember that old Rio River
Where I learned to swim
But it brings to mind another time
Where I wore my welcome thin
By transcendental meditation
I go there each night
But I always come back to myself
Long before daylight.

All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd really love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee.

Some folks think I'm hidin'
Some folks think I've died
But I'm alive and well in Tennessee...
