Lyrics
Don't know why trouble always finds me
Seems a pretty girl is always involved
Usually there's a dude that wants to hurt me...
Before the conflict can be resolved
I'm always looking for a back door
Sometimes a ground floor window would suffice
Leaving behind a good pair of cowboy boots..
with someone shoutin' things that ain't nice.
CHORUS:
No, I can't go back to Texas....There's a red-headed gal lookin' for me
Can't backtrack through Oklahoma....
They'ld hang me from the nearest hangin' tree
Arkansas is certainly out of the question....Little Rock is a place I'll never be
For now, I'm layin' low...in the safest place I know
Hidin' in the hills of Tennessee
There was a cowgirl beauty in Amarillo....
In cut-off jeans, who borrowed my cell phone
As she was dialin' up a number....I wondered how she got them tight jeans on
That good 'ol boy with her didn't like me....
I undressed her with my eyes..she was hot
Next thing I remember I was waking up...
In the bed of my truck..out in the parking lot
CHORUS:
No, I can't go back to Texas....There's a red-headed gal lookin' for me
Can't backtrack through Oklahoma....
They'ld hang me from the nearest hangin' tree
Arkansas is certainly out of the question....Little Rock is a place I'll never be
For now, I'm layin' low...in the safest place I know
Hidin' in the hills of Tennessee
