Dallas packed her suit-case

and drove off in the brand new car I bought her.

She made leavin' me look easy, I wish she'd made it look

a little harder.

I took her out of Texas, when she was just a girl,

But ol' Tennesse an' me, couldn't take Texas out of her.



Oh how I wish Dallas was in Tennesse,

If I could move Texas east,

Then she'd be here with me.

Then nothing else would come between the two of us,

If Dallas was in Tennesse.



(Inst. break.)



By now she's leavin' Memphis,

And ev'rything we had behind her.

Lord I hope the gold band on her hand,

will serve as a reminder,

that true love is a treasure, that's very seldome found,

and you can't stay together, if there's no common ground.



Oh how I wish Dallas was in Tennesse,

If I could move Texas east,

Then she'd be here with me.

Then nothing else would come between the two of us,

If Dallas was in Tennesse.



Oh if Dallas was, in Tennesse.



Dallas packed her suit-case,

an' drove off in the brand new car I bought her.
