|
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 |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
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 |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[Break] |
|
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 |
|
[Chorus] |
