I'm In Love And He's In Dallas - Tanya Tucker

Mama said

«Tell me what’s wrong child

You didn’t eat enough

To keep a bird alive

And you haven’t said

Two words to me all evening.»

She said

«Girl, you’ve got your long face on

Your eyes are red

And your smile is gone.»

So I broke down

And I told my mama the reason

I’m in love and he’s in Dallas

I’m as blue as a girl can be

Is he down there thinkin' about my love

Or driftin' away from me?

I’m in love and he’s in Dallas

But that’s not the way it’s s’pposed to be

Can a promise reach from Texas

All the way to Tennesee?

I really shoulda heard

From him by now

He promised he’d write

When things settled down

And send me money

For a ticket when things got better

And mama I guess

He’s just workin' hard

And you know how

Those cowboys are

But it’s been three weeks

And I ain’t got a letter

I’m in love and he’s in Dallas

I’m as blue as a girl can be

Is he down there thinkin' about my love

Or driftin' away from me?

And I’m in love and he’s in Dallas

And it’s not the way it’s s’pposed to be

Can a promise reach from Texas

All the way to Tennesee?

Well I’m in love and he’s in Dallas

I’m as blue as a girl can be

Can a promise reach from Texas

All the way to Tennesee?
