Ohio was a riverbank
A ten speed laying 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, yeah, that'd be just fine
I just wanted to play, I just wanted to play
But 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
Cruising down Big Sur, ha, ha
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 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
But Texas was you
It'll always be you
