Just outside of Gainesville, [A] Texas, I met and loved a girl named [E] Alexis.
Long blonde hair, the bluest [B] eyes you've seen.
[E] That woman loved me more than life.
[A] Probably she'd still be my wife [E] if I hadn't drank up [B] all our plans and dreams.
She wanted a home loving man, [A] not one that lived inside a beer [E] can.
But some things never change and [B] never will.
[C#]
[E] Love can't find a common ground [A] when one of two can't settle down.
So [E] I let her go, [B] but Lord I love her [E] still.
So drink a toast to my Alexis.
[A] She had a heart as big as Texas.
[E] Raise your glasses and take your hats off [B] please.
[E] Set them up, it's all on [A] me.
This one's to the memory of [E] my sweet Alexis, [B] Gainesville, Texas [E] queen.
