Fell in love with the lone star state
Let my lone heart break
While you drove off in those Dallas Plates
Made my way to White Rock lake
Neal talked me through the pain
I said, "Does love always have to end this way?"
'Cause nobody told me
Storybook endings weren't the way things would be
Yeah, nobody told me
That 12-year-old me
Wouldn't get that prince on the white steed
Or 12 carats on a gold ring
But now I'm screaming
I hate Texas
When those Bluebonnets bloom
Yeah, I can't help but think of you
No matter how hard I try not to
I hate laughin'
When I see that mansion, we said we'd get
Settle down, have a couple kids
Got me rememberin' when (got me rememberin' when)
Every Sunday was the same
God bless the Cowboys game
Miss your daddy asking me to say that grace
And I can't help it
'Cause I love Texas
Now I hate Texas
Wrote your name in sharpie pen
Right there on my left hand
Thought that shit was permanent (permanent)
But after a million fights
Can't figure out who was wrong or right
Only led us to a bad goodbye
Yeah, nobody told me
Storybook endings weren't the way things would be
Yeah, nobody told me
16-year-old me
Wouldn't get that white picket fence dream
While I'm pourin' this Texaco gasoline
It's got me thinkin'
I hate Texas
When those Bluebonnets bloom
Yeah, I can't help but think of you
No matter how hard I try not to
I hate laughin'
When I see that mansion, we said we'd get
Settle down, have a couple kids
Got me rememberin' when (rememberin' when)
Every Sunday was the same
God bless the Cowboys game
Miss your daddy asking me to say that grace
And I can't help it
'Cause I love Texas
And I don't wanna give it up
Kept the memories long enough
Learned my lesson
Yeah, I think it's best to
I hate Texas
When those Bluebonnets bloom
Yeah, I can't help but think of you
No matter how hard I try not to
I hate laughin'
When I see that mansion, we said we'd get
Settle down, have a couple kids
Got me rememberin' when (rememberin' when)
Every Sunday was the same
God bless the Cowboys game
Miss your daddy asking me to say that grace
And I can't help it
'Cause I love Texas
Now I hate Texas
