It was Texas it was Tennessee
It was what I had coming to me
You were unlike anything before
Black magic devil killer, I was yours
It was the early days of rock and roll
It was Otis it was Memphis soul
It was a plane crash it was overnight
It was burning fast and burning bright
Baby, don't you talk no more. That look is loud enough
You don't have to tell me how it feels not to be in love
See that was my oldest game. Darling, it was my claim to fame
And I knew it when I met you all that you would need was more than what I got
Oh, so baby please just stop
It was Texas it was Tennessee
It was exes and some wanna-be-s
It was reckless it was understood
It didn't matter 'cause it felt so good
And I'll still be here if you change your mind
But I can see the leaving in your eyes
Don't want to hear it 'cause I know it well
I've said it all before to someone else
Baby, don't you talk no more. That look is loud enough
You don't have to tell me how it feels not to be in love
See that was my oldest game. Darling, it was my claim to fame
And I knew it when I met you all that you would need was more than what I got
Oh, so baby please just stop
It was Texas it was Tennessee
A kind of love close akin to grief
It was everything that I could want
California came and took it all
Baby, don't you talk no more. That look is loud enough
You don't have to tell me how it feels not to be in love
See that was my oldest game. Darling, it was my claim to fame
And I knew it when I met you all that you would need was more than what I got
Oh, so baby please just stop
