(Verse 1)
They say everything's bigger down in Texas,
But my heartbreak's spread across the map.
From Tennessee to Colorado,
Each one left their mark on this cowboy's back.
A Georgia peach with a fiery temper,
A Kansas girl with a heart of stone.
They’re scattered far and wide, and it’s a ride,
Trying to leave their ghosts alone.

(Pre-Chorus)
I got scars in places they don’t talk about,
Memories that I can't drown out.

(Chorus)
'Cause all my ex's don’t live in Texas,
They're all over the U.S.A.
Every mile marker tells a story,
Of love that crashed and burned away.
From the Midwest plains to the Carolina coast,
They haunt me wherever I go.
Yeah, all my ex's don’t live in Texas,
But their memory’s got me low.

(Verse 2)
There's a bar in Montana where I still feel her,
A redhead with a tattooed sleeve.
And up in New York, there’s a wild-eyed city girl,
Who swore she’d never leave.
Then there’s that Florida girl with her sun-kissed smile,
She said forever, but it faded fast.
Every stop on this highway of heartache,
Is a lesson in love that didn’t last.

(Pre-Chorus)
I keep my boots moving, I keep my head high,
But the road’s got a way of saying goodbye.

(Chorus)
'Cause all my ex's don’t live in Texas,
They're all over the U.S.A.
Every mile marker tells a story,
Of love that crashed and burned away.
From the Midwest plains to the Carolina coast,
They haunt me wherever I go.
Yeah, all my ex's don’t live in Texas,
But their memory’s got me low.

(Bridge)
I thought the Lone Star State could heal my soul,
But the truth is love don’t play that role.
It’s a wild rodeo, a gamble, a bet,
And the odds ain’t in your favor yet.

(Chorus)
'Cause all my ex's don’t live in Texas,
They're all over the U.S.A.
Every mile marker tells a story,
Of love that crashed and burned away.
From the Midwest plains to the Carolina coast,
They haunt me wherever I go.
Yeah, all my ex's don’t live in Texas,
But their memory’s got me low.

(Outro)
So I’ll hit the gas, let the engine roar,
Leave those shadows in my rearview more and more.
But no matter how far I try to roam,
Those ex’s don’t let me feel at home.

Cause My Ex's Don’t Live in Texas

[Verse 1]
Well, I roll into town on a dusty trail,
Boots scuffed up, and my heart’s gone stale.
Got a six-string strapped to my back,
Living for the moment, ain’t looking back.
There’s a bark in the air, a tiny quake,
And that’s why Chihuahuas shake.

[Chorus]
I’m a cowboy, wild and free,
Riding this world like it’s meant to be.
When the thunder rolls, and the ground breaks,
You’ll see the reason Chihuahuas shake.
Yeah, they feel my fire, they know my name,
I’m a cowboy, running untamed.

[Verse 2]
In a honky-tonk bar under neon light,
A Chihuahua stares with a little fright.
I tip my hat, take a shot of Jack,
That tiny dog knows I ain’t holding back.
There’s a tremble in the air, make no mistake,
And that’s why Chihuahuas shake.

[Chorus]
I’m a cowboy, wild and free,
Riding this world like it’s meant to be.
When the thunder rolls, and the ground breaks,
You’ll see the reason Chihuahuas shake.
Yeah, they feel my fire, they know my name,
I’m a cowboy, running untamed.

[Bridge]
It’s not the cold, it’s not the fear,
It’s the spirit of the West that’s drawing near.
When I walk by, you can feel the quake,
That’s why Chihuahuas shake.

[Chorus]
I’m a cowboy, wild and free,
Riding this world like it’s meant to be.
When the thunder rolls, and the ground breaks,
You’ll see the reason Chihuahuas shake.
Yeah, they feel my fire, they know my name,
I’m a cowboy, running untamed.

[Outro]
So if you see a tiny dog tremble and quake,
Just know it’s the legend this cowboy makes.
With every step, I leave my stake,
And that’s why Chihuahuas shake.

That's Why Chihuahuas Shake

First of all.. we did not win the Gema-songchallenge 2025, but we are free to present our contribution on SoundCloud and all other platforms..starting here..the  task was "Write a contemporary lyrics/anthem , close to the melody of "Auld Lang Syne"  comp./arr./music genre free to choose."
It was a real challenge for us but we gave it a try..as a lyricwriter I was always aware that whatever I tried I would never even come close to a epic line such as "We ll drink a cup of kindness yet " (Auld Lang Syne). 
Comments always welcome!
Comments of the Jury:
"We liked how the earthy blues feeling is transported."
"We liked the message of the lyrics; timeless and at the same time one of the most current topics of world events."
"We also liked the instrumental part: authentic and cinematic!"
Conclusion:" A topic that couldn´t be more current"   ...
 
Use headphones..it´s a demo!   GEMA reg. 04/2025

Save The Only World

If one for all and all for one stand tall and point the way
There is a chance to overcome all the borders of today
Come out of cover, raise your voice, no one should stand aside
We´ll save the only world we have . In good faith we shall unite
So go ahead and make a stand for life on land and sea
There is no other place to live, it´s a question of to be.
We walk together just as one, we rise, we shall not fall
We´ll fight the evil all around. We are backs against the wall.
We are ones , we turn the wheel, we´ll save the planet earth
We´ll fight for nature, fight for us, we´ll fight for what it´s worth....
So go ahead and raise your voice, no one should stand aside
We´ll save the only world we have. In good faith we shall unite!
