Choosin' Texas
Ella Langley
Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee I shoulda known better than to take him back to Abilene I put him right back into her arms I wasn't a match for that kinda 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 to 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 sing He always loved Amarillo By Morning I shoulda taken that as warning 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 to 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 and 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 to do, nah, 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 choosing Texas I can tell, no Drinkin' Jack all by myself He's choosin' Texas I can tell C'mon baby Oh, yeah Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
