Leaving me girl and moving on down the road
E D A E (F#m E)
You left me many burdens such a heavy load
E B
And it sure does bring me out
A E
When I think about what went down
E D A E
Well the crossroads all my life it has been
E D A E
And I'm so afraid but now I'm trying to see
B
I just rode on through life
A E
Till I took the time to concentrate on you
Bm A
Well you can preached me like a lesson
E Bm
You can bring me a lot of gold
E A
But you just can't live in Texas
E B (Em B)
If you don't have a lot of soul
E D A E F#m E
I'm leaving here tonight for the very last time
E
Yes I'm leaving you babe
D A E (F# Fm E)
'Cause now I know you ain't mine
B A
Where you're living you'll find out how
E
You never had a friend
A
Well you can preached me like a lesson
E
You can bring me a lot of gold
A
But you just can't live in Texas
E B (Gm Bm)
If you don't have a lot of soul
E D A E
I'm leaving here tonight for the very last time
E
Yes I'm leaving you girl
D A E
'Cause now I know that you ain't mine
B
Some day a change will come
A
And you'll be there beside me one more time
E
One more time
