Dallas
(alan jackson/keith stegall)
Dallas packed her suitcase
And drove off in the brand new car I bought her
She made leaving me look easy
I wish shed made it look a little harder
I took her out of texas
When she was just a girl
But old tennessee and me
Couldnt take texas out of her
On how I wish dallas was in tennessee
If I could move texas east
Then shed be here with me
Then nothin else would come between the two of us
If dallas was in tennessee
By now shes leaving memphis
And everything we had behind her
Lord I hope the gold band on her hand
Will serve as a reminder
That true love is a treasure
Thats very seldom found
But you cant stay together if theres no common ground
Oh how I wish dallas was in tennessee
If I could move texas east
Then shed be here with me
Then nothin else would come between the two of us
If dallas was in tennessee
Oh if dallas was in tennessee
Dallas packed her suitcase
And drove off in the brand new car I bought her

Theres A Girl In Texas
(trace adkins/vip vipperman)
When I rode out of dallas
Chasing down a dream
I thought I knew what I was looking for
But the neon nights have blinded me
til Im lost in tennessee
Not sure I know who I am anymore... but
Theres a girl in texas

Youre a truly lovely lady
And you sure light up the night
Im a lonely man but Im leaving here alone
I wont try to lie to you
About this heart of mine
That I cant give, that I dont really own... cause

Dallas
[ jimmie dale gilmore ]
Chorus:
Did you ever see dallas from a dc-9 at night?
Dallas is a jewel
Yeah, dallas is a beautiful sight
Dallas is a jungle
But dallas gives a beautiful light
Did you ever see dallas from a dc-9 at night?
Now dallas is a woman who will walk on you when youre down
But when you are up shes the kind you wanna take around
Now dallas aint a woman to help you get your feet on the ground
And dallas is a woman who will walk on you when youre down
Oh, I came into dallas with the bright lights on my mind
I came into dallas with a dollar and a dime
Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eyes
A steel concrete soul with a warm-hearted love in disguise
A rich man who tends to believe in his own lies
I say, dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his yes
Oh, I came into dallas with the brights lights on my mind
I came into dallas with a dollar and a dime

Hes In Dallas
(donny kees, richard ross, johnny macrae)
He said Ill make your dreams come true in texas
And he captured my appalachian heart
I was so naive that I believed him
When he promised wed never be apart
So we packed and pulled a u-haul down to dallas
A year went by and the baby came along
Then his old friends and the night life came between us
Dreams turned into sleepless nights waiting all alone
Chorus:
Im staring out the window through these teardrops
Holding on to the only dream that turned out right
Were on a greyhound bus bound for west virginia
Hes in dallas without us tonight
Oh, lord I hate to break the news to mama
Shes gettin on in years and worries so
Maybe I should have stayed in dallas
And gave him another chance right now I just dont know
Repeat chorus
He said Ill make your dreams come true in texas
Hes in dallas without us tonight

All My Exs Live In Texas
Chorus:
All my exs live in texas
And texas is the place Id dearly love to be
But all my exs live in texas
And thats why I hang my hat in tennessee
Rosannas down in texarkana
Wanted me to push her broom
Sweet eileens in abilene
She forgot I hung the moon
And allisons in galveston
Somehow lost her sanity
And dimpleõs who now lives in temples
Got the law looking for me
Chorus
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 exs live in texas
And texas is the place Id dearly love to be
But all my exs live in texas
Therefore I reside in tennessee
Some folks think Im hidin
Its been rumored that I died
But Im alive and well in tennessee

If Youre Ever Down In Dallas
(jason sellers/lee ann womack)
Well, Im sure fort worth has seen its share of heartached
But its plain to see your hearts not broken now
Youre in love with someone new and up on top of the world
You say youve seen the last of the lonely side of town
But if youre ever down in dallas, darlin
Wonderin what to do
Just call on me, cause Ive been there too
Maybe I could help
cause I know so well how it hurts to lose at love
If youre ever down in dallas, look me up
Well, I gave up on our love and left you cryin
But theres times we all make choices that we regret
So if you wind up lonely cause youve made the same mistake
I can take you all the places a fool goes to forget
But if youre ever down in dallas, darlin
Wonderin what to do
Just call on me, cause Ive been there too
Maybe I could help
cause I know so well how it hurts to lose at love
If youre ever down in dallas, look me up
If youre ever down in dallas, look me up

Tennessee Jed
Cold iron shackles, ball and chain,
Listen to the whistle of the evenin train.
You know you bound to wind up dead,
If you dont head back to tennessee jed.
Rich man step on my poor head,
When you get back you better butter my bread.
Well, do you know its like I said,
You better head back to tennessee jed.
Tennessee, tennessee, there aint no place Id rather be,
Baby wont you carry me back to tennessee.
Drink all day and rock all night,
The law come to get you if you dont walk right
Got a letter this morning, baby all it read,
You better head back to tennessee jed.
I dropped four flights and cracked my spine,
Honey, come quick with the iodine,
Catch a few winks, baby, under the bed
Then you head back to tennessee jed.
Tennessee, tennessee, there aint no place Id rather be,
Baby wont you carry me back to tennessee.
I run into charlie fog,
Blacked my eye and he kicked my dog,
My doggie turned to me and he said,
Lets head back to tennessee jed.
I woke up a feelin mean,
Went down to play the slot machine,
The wheels turned around, and the letters read,
You better head back to tennessee jed.
Tennessee, tennessee, there aint no place Id rather be,
Baby wont you carry me back to tennessee.

Memphis
Long distance information, give me memphis tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall
Help me, information, get in touch with my marie
Shes the only one whod phone me here from memphis tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the mississippi bridge
Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in memphis tennessee
Last time I saw marie shes waving me good-bye
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Try to put me through to her in memphis tennessee

I Cant See Texas From Here
I come and go as I please
From down here, up north and in between
But baby its a shame, cause I always feel the same
When I cant see texas from here
I cant see texas from here
No matter how I try, it makes me wanna die
So if you see me looking down, Im trying not to show this frown
cause I cant see texas from here
I cant say I dont like tennessee
The people here have all been good to me
So please dont take offense if I start to gettinõ tense
Its just cause I cant see texas from here
I cant see texas from here
No matter how I try, it makes me wanna die
So if you see me looking down, Im trying not to show this frown

She'll Find Better Things To Do
She don't see no way around it
He shows every sign of leavin' her behind
After three days stayin' out late
It don't look like he'll be comin' home tonight
She wants to cry but pride won't let her
She'll find better things to do
Leaves her key inside the mailbox
With a note that tells that cowboy where to go
It's a two day drive to Denver
With a U-Haul if she doesn't take it slow
She wants to cry but pride won't let her
She'll find better things to do
Don't let Dallas see you cryin'
She reminds herself as she rolls out of town
When she hits that Texas border she sets pride aside
And lets her tears come down
Then she cries all the way to Colorado
'Cause it hurts like the devil to be free
Cuts her hair and finds a new job
And her friends all tell her girl you're doin' fine
Still the nights get cold and lonely
When that wild west Texas cowboy haunts her mind
She wants to cry but pride won't let her
She'll find better things to do
Don't let Dallas see you cryin'
She reminds herself as she rolls out of town
When she hits that Texas border she sets pride aside
And lets her tears come down
Then she cries all the way to Colorado
'Cause it hurts like the devil to be free

Tennessee Waltz
(redd stewart/pee wee king)
I was dancin with my darlin to the tennessee waltz
When an old friend I happened to see.
I introduced him to my darlin and while they were dancin
My friend stole my sweetheart from me.
I remember the night and the tennessee waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin the night they were playin
That beautiful tennessee waltz
Now I wonder how a dance like the tennessee waltz
Could have broken my heart so complete
Well I couldnt blame my darlin, and who could help fallin
In love with my darlin so sweet
Well it must be the fault of the tennessee waltz
Wish Id known just how much it would cost
But I didnt see it comin, its all over but the cryin
Blame it all on the tennessee waltz
She goes dancin with the darkness to the tennessee waltz
And I feel like Im falling apart
And its stronger than drink and its deeper than sorrow
This darkness she left in my heart
I remember the night and the tennessee waltz
Cause I know just how much I have lost
Yes I lost my little darlin the night they were playin
That beautiful tennessee waltz

Texas
There wouldn't be no Alamo,
No Cowboys in the Superbowl:
No "Lonesome Dove", no "Yellow Rose",
If it wasn't for Texas.
I wouldn't be a Willie fan.
Nobody'd swim the Rio Grande.
I wouldn't be an American,
If it wasn't for Texas.
Fort Worth would never cross my mind,
An' there'd be no Austim City limits sign.
No Lonestar of any kind.
If it wasn't for Texas.
Instrumental break.
I'd never've gone to Tennessee,
To sing my songs an' chase my dreams.
Only Heaven knows just where I'd be,
If it wasn't for Texas.
Fort Worth would never cross my mind.
There'd be no Austin City limits sign.
An' no Lonestar of any kind.
If it wasn't for Texas.
It made me the man I am:
Thank God for my old stompin' ground.
I wouldn't be standin' right here, right now,
If it wasn't for Texas.

Rocky Top
Wish that I was on ole rocky top,
Down in the tennessee hills.
Aint no smoggy smoke on rocky top,
Aint no telephone bills.
Once there was a girl on rocky top,
Half bear the other half cat.
Wild as a mink, sweet as soda pop,
I still dream about that.
Rocky top, youll always be
Home sweet home to me.
Good ole rocky top,
Rocky top tennessee, rocky top tennessee.
Once two strangers climbed on rocky top,
Lookin for a moonshine still.
Strangers aint come back from rocky top,
Guess they never will.
Corn wont grow at all on rocky top,
Dirts too rocky by far.
Thats why all the folks on rocky top
Get their corn from a jar.
Rocky top, youll always be
Home sweet home to me.
Good ole rocky top,
Rocky top tennessee, rocky top tennessee.
Now Ive had years of cramped up city life,
Trapped like a duck in a pen.
Now all I know is its a pity life
Cant be simple again.
Rocky top, youll always be
Home sweet home to me.
Good ole rocky top,
Rocky top tennessee, rocky top tennessee.
Rocky top tennessee, rocky top tennessee.
Yeah rocky top tennesee eee eee eee.
