Cowboy Hat In Dallas

(album: Homesick Heroes - 1988)

[INTRO:]
Well there ain't no grapes in California, and there ain't no spuds in Idaho
Ain't no snow in Minnesota, they don't get hot in El Paso
And there ain't no baked beans up in Boston, and no river in St. Lou
Ain't no grizzlies in Alaska and the Astrodome is blue
And there ain't a cowboy hat in Dallas if I ain't in love with you

Well there ain't no M in Massechusetts, and there ain't no K in Kankakee
And there ain't T in Tallahassee, there ain't no B.S. in D.C.
Ain't no beer in Bogalusa, ain't no beach in Malibu
Ain't no cars in Carson City, ain't no water in Waterloo
And there ain't a guitar pick in Nashville if I ain't in love with you

[BRIDGE:]
How am I gonna make you see that all I wanna do is make you mine
You won't believe a word I say so I'm just gonna try it one more time
One more time
And there ain't no tide in Tuscaloosa, no jambalaya in Lafayette
And there ain't no oil in Oklahoma, and Arizona's soaking wet
And I ain't ever giving up in spite of all you put me thru
I'm gonna tell ya one more time, baby you know it's true
Ain't a Chevrolet in Detroit if I ain't in love with you

[SOLO]

You won't believe a word I say so I'll just have to try it one more time
One more time
Well there ain't no mountains in Montana, ain't no pines in Caroline
And there ain't rivers in Mississippi, ain't no Mason-Dixon Lines, and ya know that's fine
Ain't no longhorn cows in Texas, ain't no streets in Kalamazoo
Ain't no losers in Las Vegas, ain't no creeks in Caribou
Ain't a cowboy hat in Dallas if I ain't in love with you
Ain't a cowboy hat in Dallas if I ain't in love with you
