| It was Texas, it was Tennessee
|
| It was what I had come into me
|
| You were unlike anything before
|
| Black magic, devil killer, I was yours
|
| It was the early days of rock 'n roll
|
| It was Otis, it was Memphis soul
|
| It was a plane crash, it was overnight
|
| It was burnin' fast and burnin' bright
|
| Baby, don’t you talk no more, that looks is loud enough
|
| You don’t have to tell me how it feels not to be in love
|
| You see, that was my oldest game, darlin', it was my claim to fame
|
| And I knew that when I met you, all that you would need is more than what I got
|
| Oh, so baby, please just stop
|
| It was Texas, it was Tennessee
|
| It was exes and some wannabes
|
| It was reckless, it was understood
|
| It didn’t matter cuz it felt so good
|
| And I’ll still be here if you change your mind
|
| But I can see the leaving in your eyes
|
| Don’t want to hear it, cuz I know it well
|
| I’ve said it all before to someone else
|
| It was Texas, it was Tennessee
|
| A kind of love a-closer kin to grief
|
| It was everything that I could want
|
| But California came and took it all |
