Le narrateur déclare que ses quatre ex-partenaires habitent dans différentes villes de l'État du Texas
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
That's why I hang my hat in Tennessee
Play it boys
I remember that old Frio River
Where I learned to swim
But it brings to mind another time
That I wore my welcome thin
And by transcendental meditation
I go there each night
But I always come back to myself
Long before daylight
All my exes live in Texas (yes they do)
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
