1. She said, she needed a break
A little time to think
But then she went to Cleveland
With some guy named Leeland
That she met at the bank

There's nothing wrong with Ohio
Except the snow and the rain
I really like Drew Carey
And I'd love to see the Rock n' Rock Hall of Fame

X: So when you're done doing whatever
And when you're through doing whoever
You know, Denton County will be
right here waiting for you

R: Come back to Texas
It's just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
And forget all about the Lonestar State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
And I've got every slow dance saved
Besides, the Mexican food sucks
north of here anyway

2. I think I made a mistake
It's not that easy to take
She went to make a deposit
Then she cleaned out her closet
Guess I'll sit here and wait

For her to come back home (I wish you'd come back home)
It shouldn't take very long (so long, so long)
I bet she misses the sunrise
And Mrs. Baird fruit pies, but I could be wrong

X: So when you're done...

R: Come back to Texas
It's just not the same since you went away
I bet you missed your accent
And drove right on through the Lonestar State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
And I've got every slow dance saved
Besides, the Mexican food sucks
north of here anyway

*: Willie Nelson wants you back
NASA wants you back
And the Bush Twins want you back (Lalalala)
Pantera wants you back (Lalalala)
And Bluebell wants you back

I got a premonition
I'm taking a petition
And the whole state's gonna sign

R: Come back to Texas... (2x)

Besides, the Mexican food sucks
north of here anyway
Besides, the Mexican food sucks
north of here anyway (yeah)
