Sides face grand square
Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
I should've known better than to take him back to Abilene
Allemande left, and weave
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' around the room

Heads square thru 4 hands, and make a right hand star
Heads star left, back to the same 2
Slide thru, (c'mon baby), square thru 3
Swing your corner, promenade her home
But judgin' by smile that's written on his face
There's nothing I could do

Heads box the gnat and slide thru
Single circle to a wave, balance for awhile
Boys trade, boys run, bend the line
Right & left thru, flutter wheel
Slide thru
Swing and promenade, go two-steppin' round the room

Sides face grand square
When I'm east bound and down, I can't help but cry
I - 40 seems long and lonelier... with every single mile
Allemande left, and weave
I know his mind wasn't ever gonna change
His heart belongs to the Lone Star State
Drinkin' Jack all by myself
He's choosin' Texas, I can tell

Sides square thru 4 hands, and make a right hand star
Sides star left
Back to the same 2, slide thru, (c'mon baby)
Square thru 3
Swing your corner, promenade her home
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
A cowboy always finds a way to leave

Heads box the gnat and slide thru
Single circle to a wave, balance for awhile
Boys trade, boys run, bend the line
Right & left thru, futter wheel
Slide thru
Swing and promenade, go two-steppin' round the room

Circle left
I guess he forgot all about the Smoky Mountain rain
Allemande left, and weave
Them old Hank tunes, the Memphis blues we used to sing
Promenade
He always loved Amarillo By Mornin', I should've taken that as a warning
Drinkin' Jack all by myself, He's choosin' Texas I can tell

Chain the ladies over and back
He's choosin' Texas I can tell
Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
