[Verse 1] Boots kicking sawdust in a neon haze He’s spinning her under that moonshine gaze Same old song that used to pull me close Now I’m just a shadow by the door Bartender tops off my cheap red wine I laugh it off Say I’m doing just fine But every time he dips her I can see He was gone long before he left me [Chorus] His heart’s in Texas Always was Down where the lone stars shine because You can’t fence in a wild mustang love I tried my best But it weren’t enough Kept him in Tennessee But I confess this His boots were here But his heart’s in Texas [Verse 2] We talked about buying us a little farm Smoky Mountain sunrise Wrap me in his arms But his stories kept drifting further west Oil rig summers and his daddy’s ranch He’d call me “darlin’ ” but his eyes would roam Every time a fiddle played “San Antone” I stitched up dreams like a Sunday dress He tore ‘em loose Chasing that sunset [Chorus] [Bridge] Let the band play one more cheating song I’ll hum along Then I’ll move on Some loves stay Some don’t stick Can’t hold a cowboy past the state line sign he missed [Chorus]
