(refrão) 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 texarcana wanted me to push her broom And sweet arlene in abilene she forgot i owned the moon And allison in galviston somehow lost her sanity And dimples who now lives in temple's got the law looking for me. I remember that old rio river where i learned to swim But it brings to mind another time when i wore my welcome thin My transcendental meditation i go there each night But i'll always come back to myself long before daylight. Some folks think i'm hiding It's been rumored that i died But i'm alive and well in tennessee.
