Choosin Texas Lyrics
Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee 🏔️❤️
I shoulda known better than to take him back to Abilene 🤠💔
I put him right back into her arms 💔🫂
I wasn’t a match for that kinda spark ✨💔
She’s from Texas, I can tell by the way 🤠⭐
He’s two steppin’ ’round the room 💃🕺
And judgin’ by the smile that’s written on his face 😊
There’s nothin’ I can do 😔💔
It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see 🔮👀
A cowboy always finds a way to leave 🤠🚶
Drinkin’ Jack all by myself 🥃😔
He’s choosin’ Texas, I can tell 🤠❤️🔥
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 shoulda taken that as a warning ⚠️💔
She’s from Texas, I can tell by the way 🤠⭐
He’s two steppin’ ’round the room 💃🕺
And judgin’ by the smile that’s written on his face 😊❤️
There’s nothin’ I can do 😔
It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see 🔮👀
A cowboy always finds a way to leave 🤠🚶♂️
Drinkin’ Jack all by myself 🥃💔
He’s choosin’ Texas, I can tell 🤠❤️🔥
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 ⭐❤️🤠
She’s from Texas, I can tell by the way 🤠⭐
He’s two steppin’ ’round the room 💃🕺
And judgin’ by the smile that’s written on his face 😊
There’s nothin’ I can do, nah, yeah 😔💔
It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see 🔮👀
A cowboy always finds a way to leave 🤠🚶♂️
Drinkin’ Jack all by myself 🥃😔
He’s choosing Texas, I can tell, no 🤠💔
Drinkin’ Jack all by myself 🥃
He’s choosin’ Texas, I can tell 🤠❤️🔥
Come on, baby ❤️
Oh, yeah 🎶🔥
Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee 🏔️❤️
