Dallas packed her suitcase And drove off in the brand new car I bought her She made leaving 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 old Tennessee and me Couldn't take Texas out of her Oh how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee If I could move Texas east Then she'd be here with me Then nothin' else would come between the two of us If Dallas was in Tennessee By now she's leaving Memphis And everything 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 seldom found But you can't stay together if there's no common ground Oh how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee If I could move Texas east Then she'd be here with me Then nothin' else would come between the two of us If Dallas was in Tennessee Oh if Dallas was in Tennessee Dallas packed her suitcase And drove off in the brand new car I bought her
