Dallas packed her suitcase

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 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 leavin' Memphis

and everythin' 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
