Lyrics for Choosin’ Texas
Song by Ella Langley

[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
