Ohio was a riverbank 

10 speed layin in the weeds 

Cannonball off an old rope swing 

Long long summer days 



Tennessee was a guitar 

First big dream of mine

If I made it, yea, that'd be just fine 

I just wanted to play, I just wanted to play, but... 



<i>[CHORUS]</i>

Texas was green eyes crying goodbye 

Was a long drive 

A heartache I'm still trying to get through 

Texas was you 



Carolina was a black car 

A big white number three 

California was a yellow jeep 

Cruisin' down Big Sur 



Georgia was a summer job 

and 'Bama was a spring break 

I got memories all over the place 

But only one still hurts, only one still hurts like 



<i>[CHORUS]</i>

Texas was green eyes crying goodbye 

Was a long drive 

A heartache I'm still trying to get through 

Texas was you 



Texas was my whole life waving goodbye 

Thought I'd die 

A heartache I'm still trying to get through 

Texas was you 



It will always be you
