A E E7
All my Ex's live in Texas

And Texas is the place I'd really love to be

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
A
She forgot I hung the moon
And Allison's in Galveston,

somehow lost her sanity

And Dimples, who now lives in Temple's

Got the law lookin' for me
[Ulangi Chorus]
[Verse 2]
A
I remember that ole Frio River
Bm
where I learned to swim
E E7
But it brings to mind another time
E A
where I wore my welcome thin
Bm
By Transcendental Meditation I go there each night
B7
But I always come back to myself
E
Long before daylight
[Chorus]
A E E7
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

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
