Don't Mess With Texas
Heartbreak in the Lone Star: Jake Coats' Ode to Lost Love
Lyrics
Her eyes at night
Reflecting on the memorable eyes of a person during the night.
Were big and bright
Highlighting the brightness of the eyes, suggesting vitality.
And I thought we'd last forever
Expressing the expectation of a lasting relationship.
And I saw the signs driving on 45
Observing signs while driving on Route 45, possibly indicating issues.
But I thought I knew better
Admitting awareness of signs but believing in personal judgment.
I should've known she would ride off like the end of every western
Regretting the predictable end of the relationship, akin to a western movie.
Now I wish I never met her
Expressing regret over meeting the person.
Give me a girl from Georgia
Desiring a romantic partner from Georgia.
Find me a bama queen
Seeking a partner from Alabama with a royal demeanor.
I'll put a rock on the top of a hand I meet in Tennessee
Willing to commit to someone from Tennessee.
Hell I'll take anybody outside that ole lone star
Open to anyone outside of Texas.
Before I let another Dallas cowgirl break my heart
Resolute not to let another Dallas cowgirl break the heart.
Oh since she left me standing on that Corpus Christi shore
Recalling a moment of being abandoned on Corpus Christi shore.
I don't mess with Texas no
Declaring a decision to avoid romantic involvement with Texas.
I don't mess with Texas anymore
Reiterating the resolution not to engage romantically with Texas.
I miss the tumbleweeds
Expressing a longing for the presence of tumbleweeds.
I miss her long blonde hair
Missing the physical attribute of the ex-partner's long blonde hair.
I don't want to make it a big deal
Downplaying the significance of the following statement.
But everything's bigger down there
Humorously referencing the "everything's bigger in Texas" stereotype.
Give me a girl from Georgia
Reiterating the desire for a partner from Georgia.
Find me a bama queen
Continuing the quest for a partner from Alabama.
I'll put a rock on the top of a hand I meet in Tennessee
Willingness to commit to someone from Tennessee.
Hell I'll take anybody
Openness to anyone outside of Texas.
Outside that ole lone star
Remaining adamant not to let another Dallas cowgirl break the heart.
Before I let another Dallas cowgirl break my heart
Recalling the emotional impact of being left on Corpus Christi shore.
Oh since she left me standing on that Corpus Christi shore
Reiterating the decision not to engage romantically with Texas.
I don't mess with Texas no
Reaffirming the resolved stance against romantic involvement with Texas.
I don't mess with Texas anymore
No specific content in this line.
Give me a girl from Georgia
Reiterating the desire for a partner from Georgia.
Find me a bama queen
Continuing the quest for a partner from Alabama.
I'll put a rock on the top of a hand I meet in Tennessee
Willingness to commit to someone from Tennessee.
Hell I'll take anybody
Openness to anyone outside of Texas.
Outside that ole lone star
Remaining adamant not to let another Dallas cowgirl break the heart.
Before I let another Dallas cowgirl break my heart
Recalling the emotional impact of being left on Corpus Christi shore.
Oh since she left me standing on that Corpus Christi shore
Reiterating the decision not to engage romantically with Texas.
I don't mess with Texas no
Reaffirming the resolved stance against romantic involvement with Texas.
I don't mess with Texas anymore
No longer willing to engage romantically with Texas.
Not anymore
Finalizing the statement of not engaging romantically with Texas.
