HALF MY HEART'S IN TEXAS
(Linda Hargrove)

Ernest Tubb & His Texas Troubadours - 1977



Now ever since you went away I haven’t been the same
You can ask my friends they’ll say I’ve been through quite a change
I can’t seem to understand why you walk out on me
But now Half My Heart’s In Texas and the other half in Tennessee

Half My Heart’s In Texas that’s the part that went with you
Tennessee’s got part of me but Lord what can I do
If half of me is missin’ how much of me is free
With half my heart in Texas and the other half in Tennessee

Ah Pete and Lynn
Instrumentals

You didn’t even say goodbye and Lord knows how it hurts
I ain’t mad but it makes me mad that you treat me like dirt
I still think the world of you and dream how it could be
But now Half My Heart’s In Texas and the other half in Tennessee

Half My Heart’s In Texas that’s the part that went with you
Tennessee’s got part of me but Lord what can I do
If half of me is missin’ how much of me is free
With half my heart in Texas and the other half in Tennessee

If half of me is missin’ how much of me is free
With half my heart in Texas and the other half in Tennessee

As recorded by Linda Hargrove - 1975


Ever since you went away I haven't been the same
You can ask my friends, they'll say I've been through quite a change
I can't seem to understand why you'd walk out on me
Now half my heart's in Texas and the other half's in Tennessee

Half my heart's in Texas, that's the part that went with you
Tennessee's got part of me, but Lord, what can I do
If half of me is missin', how much of me is free
Half of my heart in Texas and the other half in Tennessee

(Steel guitar)
There's that Texas steel, aah

You didn't even say goodbye and Lord knows how it hurt
Well I ain't mad, but it makes me sad that you treated me like dirt
I still think the world of you and dream how it could be
Now half of my heart's in Texas and the other half's in Tennessee

Half my heart's in Texas, that's the part that went with you
Tennessee's got part of me, but Lord, what can I do
If half of me is missin', how much of me is free
Half of my heart in Texas and the other half in Tennessee

Oh, If half of me is missin', how much of me is free
Half of my heart in Texas and the other half in Tennessee
