george strait - all my ex's live in texas lyrics

[chorus:]
all my ex's live in texas,
and texas is a 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 ilene's in abilene; she forgot i hung the moon,
and allison in galveston somehow lost her sanity,
and dimples who now lives in temple's got the law lookin' for me.

[chorus]

i remember that old frio river where i learned to swim.
and it brings to mind another time where i wore my welcome thin.
my transcendental meditation, i go there each night,
but i always come back to myself long before daylight.

[chorus]

some folks think i'm hidin',
it's been rumored that i died,
but i'm alive and well in tennessee.
