TEXAS NEVER FELL IN LOVE WITH ME
(Tom T. Hall)


Tom T. Hall - 1980





It wasn't much, but I sold it all and I moved to San Antone
Knowin' in my heart that Texas had to be my home
I fell in love with Texas, I was happy, I was free
But Texas never fell in love with me

I found out my style just didn't suit the local swirl
I found out that I can't fit into a cowboy world
I'm back in Indiana just as lonesome as can be
Texas never fell in love with me

I bought myself a cowboy hat, of course it didn't fit
I bought myself a case of Coor's and I used to drink and sip
I watched the cowgirls come and go, Lord, don't they love to play
The one I wanted never came my way

I found out my style just didn't suit the local swirl
I found out that I can't fit into a cowboy world
Now, I'm back in Indiana just as lonesome as can be
Texas never fell in love with me
Texas never fell in love with me
