All My Ex's Live In Texas

11th #1 Song

Written by Sanger D Shafer & Lyndia J Shafer

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 thought that 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

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

I remember that old Frio River
where I learned to swim
But it brings to mind another time
where I wore my welcome thin
My transcendental meditation
I go there each night
But I always come back to myself
long before daylight

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
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
