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 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

[ guitar - steel ]
You din't even say goodbye and Lord knows how it hurts
I ain't mad but it makes me sad that you'd treat 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...

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