GDallas packed her suitcase
And dCrove off in the brand new car I boGught her
She made leaving me look easy
CI wish she'd made it look a little hGarder
I tDook her out of Texas
When sChe was just a girl
But old TenDnessee and me
Couldn't take TeCxas out of hDer
[Chorus]
On hoGw I wish DaCllas was in TenDnessee
If I could move TeCxas east
Then sheD'd be here with me
Then nothGing else would coCme between the tDwo of us
If DaCllas was iDn TeGnnessee
[Verse]
GBy now she's leaving Memphis
And everyCthing we had behGind her
Lord I hope the gold band on her hCand
Will serve as a remGinder
That trDue love is a treasure
That's veCry seldom found

The story behind the song

This song tells the story of a man whose lover, also named Dallas, has left him for the city of Dallas, Texas. The narrator expresses a longing for both his lost love and the distant city to be closer to him, specifically wishing Dallas was in Tennessee. The idea for the song came to Alan Jackson after playing a show in Fort Worth, Texas, when he remarked that he "wished Dallas was in Tennessee." It's a simple song with clever lyrics that capture the ache of separation.

Dallas packed her suitcase

C G

And drove off in the brand new car I bought her

She made leaving me look easy

I wish she'd made it look a little harder

I took her out of Texas

When she was just a girl

But old Tennessee and me

C D

Couldn't take Texas out of her

[Chorus]

G C D

On how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee

If I could move Texas east

Then she'd be here with me

G C D

Then nothing else would come between the two of us

C D G

If Dallas was in Tennessee

[Verse]

By now she's leaving Memphis

C G

And everything we had behind her

Lord I hope the gold band on her hand

Will serve as a reminder

That true love is a treasure

That's very seldom found

D C D

But you can't stay together if there's no common ground

[Chorus]

G C D

On how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee

If I could move Texas east

Then she'd be here with me

And drove off in the brand new car I bought her
