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
