I come and go as I please
From down here
up north and in between
But baby it's a shame
'cause I always feel the same
When I can't see Texas from here

I can't see Texas from here
No matter how I try
it makes me wanna die
So if you see me looking down
I'm trying not to show this frown
'Cause I can't see Texas from here

I can't say I don't like Tennessee
The people here have all been good to me
So please don't take offense
if I start to gettin' tense
It's just 'cause I can't see Texas from here

I can't see Texas from here
No matter how I try
it makes me wanna die
So if you see me looking down
I'm trying not to show this frown
'Cause I can't see Texas from here
