I'm in Love and He's in Dallas Songtext

von Tanya Tucker

Mamma said, "Tell me what's wrong, child
You didn't even have to keep a better live
And you haven't said two words to me all evening"

She said, "Girl, you got your long face on
Your eyes are red and your smile is gone"
So I broke down and then told my mamma the reason

I'm in love and he's in Dallas
And I'm as blue as a girl can be
Is he down there thinking 'bout my love
Or drifting away from me?

I'm in love and he's in Dallas
But that's not the way it's supposed to be
Can a promise reach from Texas
All the way to Tennessee?

I really should have 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

Mamma, I guess he's just working hard
And you know how those cowboys are
Well it's been three weeks and I ain't got a letter

Well I'm in love and he's in Dallas
And I'm as blue as a girl can be
Is he down there thinking 'bout my lovin'
Or drifting away from me?

I'm in love and he's in Dallas
But that's not the way it's supposed to be
Can a promise reach from Texas
All the way to Tennessee?

I'm in love and he's in Dallas
But that's not the way it's supposed to be
Can a promise reach from Texas
All the way to Tennessee?
