My Exes Live in Tennessee

[Verse 1]
Buddy raised his beer and laughed
Said, "All my exes live in Texas"
Jukebox spinnin', Friday night
Neon over by the exits
I took a sip, said, "Sounds real nice"
But that ain't how it went for me
Mine still haunt my hometown roads
From Memphis down to Cherokee
[Chorus]
Somebody's exes live in Texas
Meanwhile mine live in Tennessee
Every backroad, every barstool
Got a ghost still waitin' on me
Yeah, they’re scattered ‘round this state line
From the river to the Smoky peaks
Somebody’s exes live in Texas
But mine live in Tennessee
[Verse 2]
There's a blonde girl runnin' Bristol
Who still calls when she gets bored
There's a nurse down in Murfreesboro
Keeps my T-shirt in her drawer
Got a ring I never offered
Sittin' pawned in Gatlinburg
And a love song in Clarksville
She still swears was ‘bout her
[Chorus]
Somebody's exes live in Texas
Meanwhile mine live in Tennessee
Every backroad, every barstool
Got a ghost still waitin' on me
Yeah, they’re scattered ‘round this state line
From the river to the Smoky peaks
Somebody’s exes live in Texas
But mine live in Tennessee
[Bridge]
So don't take me on a road trip
‘Less you wanna hear ‘bout us
Every mile’s another memory
Every town, another “almost was” (oh-oh)
[Chorus]
Somebody's exes live in Texas
Meanwhile mine live in Tennessee
Every backroad, every barstool
Got a ghost still waitin' on me
Yeah, they’re scattered ‘round this state line
And they still mean too much to me
Somebody’s exes live in Texas
But mine live in Tennessee (Tennessee)
Yeah, mine live in Tennessee
