And Allison’s in Galveston, [Am]somehow lost her sanity
And [A7]Dimple’s who now lives in Temple’s, Gt the [D7]law looking for me

[G]I remember that old Frio River [Am]where I learned to swim
But it [D7]brings to mind another time where I wore my welcome [G]thin
By transcendental meditation [Am]I go there each night
But I [A7]always come back to myself [D7]long before daylight

[chorus]
[G]All my ex’s live in [D7]Texas
