  • All my exes live in Texas
    And Texas is a place I'd dearly love to be
    But all my exes 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 Dimples who now lives in Temple's
    Got the law looking for me

    All my exes live in Texas
    And Texas is a place I'd dearly love to be
    But all my exes live in Texas
    And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee

    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 exes live in Texas
    And Texas is a place I'd dearly love to be
    But all my exes live in Texas
    Therefore I reside in Tennessee

    Some folks think I'm hidin'
    It's been rumored that I died
    But I'm alive and well in Tennessee Writer/s: Lyndia J Shafer, Sanger D Shafer
