            Dm                                          C 
Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee 
                Dm                                 C 
I shoulda known better than to take him back to Abilene 
          F 
I put him right back into her arms 
           G 
I wasn't a match for that kinda spark

                       F 
She's from Texas I can tell by the way 
                            C 
He's two steppin' round the room 
                                Dm 
And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face 
                      G 
There's nothin' I can do 
                  F 
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see 
                Am 
A cowboy always finds a way to leave 
                       F 
Drinkin' Jack all by myself 
G                         C    Dm    C 
He's choosin' Texas I can tell

Well, I guess he forgot about the smoky mountain rain 
              Dm                                  C 
Them old Hank tunes the Memphis blues we used sing 
          F 
He always loved Amarillo By Morning 
          G 
I shoulda taken that as warning

When I'm eastbound and down and I can't help but cry 
        Am                    G 
Cause I-40 gets lonelier with every mile 
     F                         G 
I'll know that his mind wasn't ever gonna change 
          Dm                         G 
Cause his heart still belongs to the lone star state
