Chorus:
All my ex's live in Texas
and Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
but all my ex's 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 Dimple's who now lives in Temple's
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 ex's live in Texas
and Texas is the place Id dearly love to be
but all my ex's live in Texas
therefore I reside in Tennessee
Some folks think I'm hidin'
It's been rumored that I died
. . .

(David Anthony/Paul A. Maloy)
Someone's walkin' around upstairs
I can hear him
And he just got up from sleepin' in our bed
And I'll wake and realize
I was dreamin'
But even when I'm stoned awake
I can't get it out of my head
Cause I know someone's gonna take my place
And walk up that 'ol stair way
To the room where I walked out on you
Please understand I couldn't stay
I see a two story house
With someone new warmin' up my bed
Someone's walkin' around upstairs
And I can't get it out of my head
Cause I know someone's gonna take my place
And walk up that 'ol stair way
To the room where I walked out on you
Please understand I couldn't stay
I see a two story house
With someone new warmin' up my bed
Someone's walkin' around upstairs
And I can't get it out of my head
Someone's walkin' around upstairs

Chorus:
Am I blue
Yes I'm blue
It started the day I lost you
Nobody ever loved somebody like I do
Am I blue
Am I blue
Just this mornin'
over coffee
I sat there cryin'
cause you're gone long gone
I didn't know just how much
I was gonna miss you
till I spent my first night alone
Am I blue
Yes I'm blue
How could I have been such a fool
Now look at all the misery I'm going through
Am I blue
Am I blue
Tried to call and say I'm sorry
I couldn't get you on the line
You'll never know just how much
I'm wishin' you would show up
and say you've changed your mind
. . .

If you leave me
I won't miss you
and I won't ever take you back
Girl your memory
won't ever haunt me
Cause I don't love you
Now if you'll buy that
Chorus:
I've got some ocean front property in Arizona
from my front porch you can see the sea
I've got some ocean front property in Arizona
An if you'll buy that I'll throw the Golden Gate in free
I don't worship
the ground you walk on
I never have and that's a fact
I won't follow or try to find you
Cause I don't love you
Now if you'll buy that
Chorus

She left me almost burned out
I couldn't feel a thing
A walkin' talkin' statue
Afraid to love again
She did everything to kill a flame
But a little spark got through
She'd of got her way
I'd be gone today
If it hadn't been for you
You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames
I'm alive with love because of you
When you came to light the fire
I knew just what to bring
You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames
She thought she had me down and out
But at the count of nine
A livin' lovin' angel
Showed up just in time
She thought that I would surely die
Sometimes I wanted to
She had no doubt
The fire was out
But she didn't count on you
You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames
I'm alive with love because of you
When you came to light the fire
I knew just what to bring
You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames
You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames
I'm alive with love because of you
When you came to light the fire
I knew just what to bring
You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames
You turn cold gray ashes into
. . .

Her ship set sail from the docks of Miami
For a two week Caribbean cruise
Our first time apart
In ten years of marriage
She said I'm already missin' you
She called me from Nassau
Ships first port a call
Said the ocean ain't all that's blue
The closer I read was right
This island is paradise
But not without you
She said without you hear
There's just no fun
In the sun would be had
Without you here
It's no place to be
This dream vacation is a bad situation
I'm in misery
In a sea of tears
Without you here
I said darlin' I'm sorry
I should of gone with you
Had a feelin' you'd be feelin' this way
But I'm just as lonely
Your not the only one
Wishin' I was there today
As I hung up the phone
I pictured her there alone
Standin' at the dock of the bay
O' it's more than I can stand
There's gonna be a change in plans
Honey I'm on my way
She said without you hear
There's just no fun
In the sun would be had
Without you here
It's no place to be
This dream vacation is a bad situation
I'm in misery
In a sea of tears
Without you here
She said without you hear
There's just no fun
In the sun would be had
Without you here
It's no place to be
This dream vacation is a bad situation
I'm in misery
In a sea of tears
. . .

1st. verse
well honey don't you worry I don't need no ballroom queen,
though i'll admit she sure know how to fill a pair of jeans,
and i'll admit now darlin she sure showin me her stuff
but honey it ain't nearly enough,
1st. chorus
cause I ain't never seen her patch a pair of ragged britches
stretch a paycheck til it reaches, scratch my back right where it itches
and I aint never seen that and honey til I do
my heart won't wonder very far from you,
2nd. verse
now honey you know I honor all the hard times we been through
i never could have made it with anyone but you
and I think I know when a lady is really really tough
but she don't show me nearly enough,
2nd. chorus
cause I aint never seen her stay up all night with the baby
calm me down when I get crazy, fix me grits and red eyes gravy
and I aint never seen that and honey til I do
my heart won't wonder very far from you
last chorus
no I aint never seen her make a six room house a castle
teach the young ones how to wrastle,
straighten out my fish and tackle
and I aint seen that and honey til I do
my heart won't wonder very far from you
no I aint never seen that and honey til I do
. . .

Man don't you know
This woman you want and crave
Is the queen of my kingdom
When she walks through the garden
Roses drop pedals
To cushion the foot steps she takes
I know she once loved you
And I know you still lover her
But you carelessly asked for your freedom
I can see how it hurts you
But it's too late
You made your mistakes
Man you know second chances these days
Are so hard to come by
I love that lady
So you best forget
Ever gettin' her back cause she's mine
Man you know I had somebody else once
And she just gave me one try
And second chances these days
Are so hard to come by
Man you know second chances these days
Are so hard to come by
I love that lady
So you best forget
Ever gettin' her back cause she's mine
Man you know I had somebody else once
And she just gave me one try
And second chances these days
Are so hard to come by
And second chances these days
. . .

I'd been workin' at forgettin' since you said goodbye,
Lookin' for some good times, the best money can buy.
But it's a bad investment, there's no long term dividends.
You can't buy happiness or heal a heart theat just won't mend.
Chorus:
I never thought that I'd be missin' you this way.
I should've paid you more attention, but now it's too late.
You can buy a night out on the town, you can buy a loveboat cruise,
But you can't buy your way out of the blues.
No you can't buy your way out of the blues.
You can spend your fool self silly, but your money's all you lose.
Loveluck just can't be bought and paid for and that's the truth.
No you can't buy your way out of the blues.
My pocketbook is empty, but I'm still feelin' bad.
I might as well admit it- you're the last good time I had.
It's been a high- priced lesson, I can't justify the cost.
I tried buying off your memory, but it's all in vain because
Repeat Chorus:
Love luck just can't be bought and paid for and that's the truth.

Leavin' me behind is all behind you now
It's plain to see that you're for good over me
You've gotta whole new life ahead of you
You did what you lived to do
And I'm all behind you now
And I'll be behind you always
Should you every be a yesterday
Though it tears me up
To know deep down
I'm all behind you know
You're comin' back
My way will come my way again
I'll never be what I was with you and me
And I don't know who or where your goin' to
But you did what you lived to do
And I'm all behind you now
And I'll be behind you always
Should you every be a yesterday
Though it tears me up
To know deep down
I'm all behind you know
Yeah it tears me up to know deep down
