Key of C
Intro: C G F C G F
VERSE 1:
C
I woke up this morning not feeling right,
C
And it wasn’t the beer that I drank last night,
F
It’s the state I’m in,
C
I just know I’m not where I’m meant to be,
C
I heard a southern wind callin’ out to me,
F
Go back home again,
G F
Now I’m standin’ at the lonely end of the path I chose,
G F G
And I can’t stop thinking about all the things I miss the most
CHORUS:
G C G F
Might be those Saturday nights and the honky tonks and the rodeos,
C G Dm F
Or the way the sun sets in the hills of San Antonio-Oh
C G
Might be the dust on my boots, the miles of fence line,
Am F
That ole Rio Grande or the wide open sky,
Dm G
But my best guess is,
C G F
It’s that girl in Texas
VERSE 2
C
I spent all day packin up my truck,
C
And my boss forgot to wish me luck,
F
When I said so long...
C
It's high time I undue my mistake,
C
So I’ll drive all night down that interstate,
F
Till I’m all the way gone,
G F
I know deep down in my heart it’s what I’ve gotta do,
G F G
And if anyone asks me what I’m most looking forward to, Yea
CHORUS:
G C G F
Might be those Saturday nights and the honky tonks and the rodeos,
C G Dm F
Or the way the sun sets in the hills of San Antonio-Oh
C G
Might be the dust on my boots, the miles of fence line,
Am F
That ole Rio Grande or the wide open sky,
Dm G
But my best guess is,
C G F
It’s that girl in Texas
BRIDGE
G F
Yea I can’t wait to see her smiling face,
G F G
And I couldn’t tell you why I ever left that place
LAST CHORUS:
C G F
I miss those Saturday nights and the honky tonks and the rodeos,
C G Dm F
And the way the sun sets in the hills of San Antonio-Oh,
C G
Her beautiful smile, bright blue eyes,
Am F
Holdin’ her close in the moonlight,
Dm G
What I miss most is,
C
That girl in Texas
Dm G
What I love most is
C G F
That girl in Texas,
C G F
That girl in Texas
