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
