Verse
 
GDallas packed her suitcase
CAnd drove off in the brand new car I Gbought her
GShe made leaving me look easy
CI wish she'd made it look a little Gharder
DI took her out of Texas
CWhen she was just a girl
DBut old Tennessee and me
Couldn't take CTexas out ofD her
 
Chorus
 
On Ghow I wish Dallas was in DTennessee
If I could move CTexas east
Then[D 
she'd be here with me 
Then Gnothin' else would come between theD two of us
If CDallas was Din TennesGsee
 
Verse
 
GBy now she's leaving Memphis
CAnd everything we had Gbehind her
GLord I hope the gold band on herC hand
Will serve as a Greminder
DThat true love is a treasure
CThat's very seldom found
DBut you can't stay together if Cthere's no commonD ground
