Ohio was a riverbank;
Ten-speed layin' in the weeds;
Cannonball off an old rope swing;
Long long summer days.
Tennessee was a guitar;
First big dream of mine,
If I made it, yeah, that'd be just fine,
I just wanted to play, I just wanted to play, but
Texas was green eyes crying goodbye,
Was a long drive,
A heartache I'm still trying to get through.
Texas was you.
Carolina was a black car,
A big white number three.
California was a yellow jeep
Cruisin' down Big Sur,
Ha ha!
Georgia was a summer job,
'Bama was a spring break.
I got memories all over the place,
But only one still hurts, only one still hurts like
Texas was green eyes crying goodbye,
Was a long drive,
A heartache I'm still trying to get through.
Texas was you.
Texas was my whole life waving goodbye,
Thought I'd die,
A heartache I'm still trying to get through.
Texas was you.
It'll always be you.
