[Verse 1]

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?"

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause nobody told me

The storybook endings weren't the way things would be

Yeah, nobody told me

That twelve-year-old me

Wouldn't get that prince on a white steed

Or twelvе carats on a gold ring

But now I'm screaming

[Chorus]

I hate Texas

Whеn those bluebonnets bloom

Yeah, I can't help but think of you, no matter how hard I try not to

I hate laughing

When I see that mansion we said we'd get

Settle down, have a couple kids, got me remembering when (Remembering 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

[Verse 2]

Wrote your name in a 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

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah, nobody told me

Storybook endings weren't the way things would be

Yeah, nobody told me

Sixteen-year-old me

Wouldn't get that white picket fence dream

While I'm pouring this Texaco gasoline

It's got me thinking

[Chorus]

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 laughing

When I see that mansion we said we'd get

Settle down, have a couple kids, got me remembering when (Remembering when)

Every Sunday was the same

God bless the Cowboys game

I miss your daddy asking me to say that grace (Grace)

And I can't help it 'cause I love Texas

[Bridge]

And I don't wanna give it up

Kept the memories long enough

Learned my lesson

Yeah, I think it's best if

[Chorus]

I hate Texas (Hate)

When those bluebonnets bloom (Oh)

Yeah, I can't help but think of you, no matter how hard I try not to (Ooh)

I hate laughing

When I see that mansion we said we'd get

Settle down, have a couple kids, got me remembering when (Remembering when)

Every Sunday was the same

God bless the Cowboys game

I miss your daddy asking me to say that grace (Oh)

And I can't help it 'cause I love Texas

Now I hate Texas
