Chorus: All my ex’s live in Texas And Texas is the 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 Texarkana Wanted me to push her broom Sweet Eileen’s in Abilene She forgot I hung the moon And Allison’s in Galveston Somehow lost her sanity And Dimple’s who now lives in Temple’s Got the law looking for me Chorus I remember that old Frio River Where I learned to swim But it brings to mind another time Where 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 [...]

Amarillo by mornin’ Up from San Antone Everything that I got Is just what I’ve got on. When that sun is high in that Texas sky, I’ll be buckin’ at the county fair.

I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye. Fightin’ was against the rules and it didn’t matter why. When dad got home I told that story just like I’d rehearsed.

And he said, “Let me tell you a secret about a father’s love, A secret that my daddy said was just between us.” He said, “Daddies don’t just love their children every now and then. It’s a love without end, amen, it’s a love without end, amen.” When I became a father in the spring of ’81 There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father’s son. And [...]
