All my ex's live in Texas   And Texas is the 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 Texarkana   Wanted me to push her broom   Sweet Eileen's in Abilene   She forgot I hung the moon      And Allison's in Galveston   Somehow lost her sanity   And Dimple's who now lives in Temple's   Got the law looking for me      All my ex's live in Texas   And Texas is the 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      I remember that old Frio river   Where I learned to swim   And 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 dearly love to be   But all my ex's live in Texas   And therefore I reside in Tennessee      Some folks think I'm hidin'   It's been rumored that I died   But I'm alive and well in Tennessee
