0:17Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
0:25I shoulda known better than to take him back to Abilene
0:34I put him right back into her arms
0:38I wasn't a match for that kinda spark
0:42She's from Texas I can tell by the way
0:46He's two steppin' round the room
0:51And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
0:55There's nothin' I can to do
0:59It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
1:04A cowboy always finds a way to leave
1:08Drinkin' Jack all by myself
1:12He's choosin' Texas I can tell
1:23Well, I guess he forgot about the smoky mountain rain
1:32Them old Hank tunes the Memphis blues we used sing
1:40He always loved Amarillo By Morning
1:45I shoulda taken that as warning
1:48She's from Texas I can tell by the way
1:53He's two steppin' round the room
1:57And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
2:02There's nothin' I can to do
2:06It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
2:10A cowboy always finds a way to leave
2:14Drinkin' Jack all by myself
2:19He's choosin' Texas I can tell
2:24When I'm eastbound and down and I can't help but cry
2:28Cause I-40 gets lonelier with every mile
2:32I'll know that his mind wasn't ever gonna change
2:37Cause his heart still belongs to the lone star state
2:44She's from Texas I can tell by the way
2:49He's two steppin' round the room
2:53And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
2:57There's nothin' I can to do, naw yeah
3:02It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
3:06A cowboy always finds a way to leave
3:10Drinkin' Jack all by myself
