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
On 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
