Lonely Lubbock Nights
View chords used in this chart
Capo 4
D C G
Well I was singing at the ol’ Broken Spoke
Em C D
I could have swore she came walking in
D C G
Forgot the words to a song that I wrote
Em C D
I Must be losing my mind once again
D C G
Her daddy is a southern Baptist preacher
Em C D
I had to choose her or the bars where I sang
D C G
Now when I call you know I can’t seem to reach her
Em C D
I’m gonna find her if it’s the last thing
[Refrão]
C Em D
So I’ll drive all night long
C Em D
Till I find where we went wrong
C Em D
But there’s no love in sight
D C G
Just those lonely Lubbock lights
D C G
I was ready to give up the road
Em C D
As I turned onto her street
D C G
Awe But the silhouette there in her window
Em C D
Was of someone who once looked like me
D C G
Awe well I placed a price on her heart
Em C D
someone else collected the bounty
D C G
Now this lost soul don’t know where to start
Em C D
I think I’m lost somewhere in Hale County
Chorus
D C G
That west Texas wind grew colder
Em C D
As I left her a further behind me
D C G
Sometimes I stop and cry on the shoulder
Em C D
Cause every town I pass helps to remind me
Chorus
