         Em7        Em            Em7
It ain’t ever just textin’, it’s sendin’ a message
 D
Bigger than Texas, you know what it says
         Em7
When you send it back late
D
And your heart’s in a Lonestar state

And you start forgettin’ the night that he left you

Down in Dallas, all alone
D
Girl, put down that phone

Go on and dust off your boots

Take a two step or two with somebody new

Just whatever you do

To heck with that necklace

Still ’round your neck it’s
          D

But that heart he broke

He’s a thorn in your desert rose, hell no
