^{Verse 1} Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee I should've known better than to take him back to Abilene I put him right back into her arms I wasn't a match for that kind of spark ^Chorus She's from Texas, I can tell by the way He's two-stepping 'round the room And judging by the smile that's written on his face There's nothing I can do It doesn't take a crystal ball to see A cowboy always finds a way to leave Drinking Jack all by myself He's choosin' Texas, I can tell ^{Verse 2} Well, I guess he forgot about the Smoky Mountain rain Them old Hank tunes, the Memphis blues we used to sing He always loved "Amarillo by Morning" I should've taken that as a warning ^Chorus She's from Texas, I can tell by the way He's two-stepping 'round the room And judging by the smile that's written on his face There's nothing I can do It doesn't take a crystal ball to see A cowboy always finds a way to leave Drinking Jack all by myself He's choosin' Texas, I can tell ^Bridge 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 ^Chorus She's from Texas, I can tell by the way He's two-stepping 'round the room And judging by the smile that's written on his face There's nothing I can do, naw, yeah It doesn't take a crystal ball to see A cowboy always finds a way to leave Drinking Jack all by myself He's choosin' Texas, I can tell, no Drinking Jack all by myself He's choosin' Texas, I can tell ^Outro Come on, baby Oh yeah Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
