One day I went to Mardi Gras down in New Orleans
Met a girl named Genevieve-- what a beauty queen
I asked her would she marry me
Girl: "not in a million years"
I'm headin' back to Texas
To dry up all my tears
Break
I took off for Nashville and met a country star
Wrote a song for her to sing, I thought it could go far
I asked her would she marry me
Girl: "not even if he begs"
I'm headin' back to Texas
My tail between my legs
Headin' back to Texas
That's my home sweet home
I always come back to this place
No matter where I roam
I struck out at love
But I guess all is fair
Cause when I'm back in Texas
I don't really care
Break
I met a girl from Kansas workin' on a farm
Her daddy said leave her alone or I might come to harm
Well I asked her anyway
Girl: "there's no way and no how"
I'm headin' back to Texas
Back behind my plow
Break
Once I was down in Georgia and met a Southern belle
I thought she was the girl for me but I can never tell
I asked her would she marry me
Girl: "when there's chevys on the moon"
I'm headin back to Texas
Singing this here tune
Headin' back to Texas
That's my home sweet home
I always come back to this place
No matter where I roam
I struck out at love
But I guess all is fair
Cause when I'm back in Texas
I don't really care
Yeah when I'm back in Texas
I don't really care
