Ella Langley - Choosin' Texas Lyrics



Ella Langley - Choosin' Texas Lyrics
Official




Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
I shoulda known better than to take him back to Abilene
I put him right back into her arms
I wasn't a match for that kinda spark
She's from Texas I can tell by the way
He's two steppin' round the room
And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
There's nothin' I can to do
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
A cowboy always finds a way to leave
Drinkin' Jack all by myself
He's choosin' Texas I can tell
Well, I guess he forgot about the smoky mountain rain
Them old Hank tunes the Memphis blues we used sing
He always loved Amarillo By Morning
I shoulda taken that as warning
She's from Texas I can tell by the way
He's two steppin' round the room
And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
There's nothin' I can to do
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
A cowboy always finds a way to leave
Drinkin' Jack all by myself
He's choosin' Texas I can tell
When I'm eastbound and down and I can't help but cry
'Cause I-40 gets lonelier with every mile
I'll know that his mind wasn't ever gonna change
'Cause his heart still belongs to the lone star state
She's from Texas I can tell by the way
He's two steppin' round the room
And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
There's nothin' I can to do, nah, yeah
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
A cowboy always finds a way to leave
Drinkin' Jack all by myself
He's choosing Texas I can tell, no
Drinkin' Jack all by myself
He's choosin' Texas I can tell
C'mon baby
Oh, yeah
Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee

Ella Langley - Choosin' Texas Video
(Show video at the top of the page)


"Choosin' Texas" is a song by American country music singer Ella Langley, released on October 17, 2025. She wrote it with Luke Dick, Miranda Lambert and Joybeth Taylor, and produced it with Ben West. The song features background vocals from Lambert.

The song was created at a writing retreat in October 2024. Miranda Lambert told Ella Langley some humorous stories from her younger years, including one in which she was pulled over with her pet kangaroo in the passenger seat and commented to the female officer that she had Texas license plates. From there, Langley came up with the phrase "She's from Texas, I can tell", which developed into the lyrics "She's from Texas, I can tell by the way he's two-steppin' around the room". In about 30 minutes, the song was composed.

The song contains guitar, including steel guitar. Lyrically, Ella Langley croons about a lover who has left her for a Texas woman. In the first verse, she reflects on her initial belief that he was falling in love with her and Tennessee. Later on, she wrestles with her regret and accepts the truth as she realizes his heart has always belonged to Texas. Langley recalls the signs that foreshadowed this fact earlier in their relationship, such as his love for the song "Amarillo By Morning" by George Strait.

Jessica Nicholson of Billboard remarked, "The production, the rhythm, the message and Langley's unmistakable voice meld mightily to make this an irresistible track and further cement Langley as one of the genre's brightest newcomers."
