Ella Langley: Choosin' Texas

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, naw 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
Ohh yeah
Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
