All my ex's live in Texas and Texas is a place

I dearly love to be

All my ex's live in Texas and that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee

Roseanna's down in Texarcana wanted me to push her broom

Sweet Eileen's in Abilene she forgot I hung the moon

And Allison in Galveston somehow lost her sanity

And dimples who now lives in Temples got the law lookin' for me

All my ex's live in Texas and Texas is a place

I dearly love to be

All my ex's live in Texas and that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee

I remember that old Brazos river where I learned to swim

But it brings to mind another time when 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 a place

I dearly love to be

All my ex's live in Texas and that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee

Some folks think I'm hiding it's been rumored that I died

But I'm alive and well in Tennessee
