[G]Dallas packed her suitcase
[C]And drove off in the brand new car I [G]bought her
[G]She made leaving me look easy
[C]I wish she'd made it look a little [G]harder
[D]I took her out of Texas
[C]When she was just a girl
[D]But old Tennessee and me
Couldn't take [C]Texas out of[D] her

Chorus:

On [G]how I wish Dallas was in [D]Tennessee
If I could move [C]Texas east
Then[D] she'd be here with me
Then [G]nothin' else would come between the[D] two of us
If [C]Dallas was [D]in Tennes[G]see

[G]By now she's leaving Memphis
[C]And everything we had [G]behind her
[G]Lord I hope the gold band on her[C] hand
Will serve as a [G]reminder
[D]That true love is a treasure
[C]That's very seldom found
[D]But you can't stay together if [C]there's no common[D] ground

Oh if [C]Dallas was [D]in Tennes[G]see
