Capo 2
Intro D Bm G A G ( 2 Times)
D
When I look south and see the storm clouds roll, on their way to old Mexico
Bm G A G
I don't want to be alone
D
The rays of light through my Shiner Bock bottle me wanna turn the key and put down the throttle
Bm G A D
and get lost down 35
When I get tied down by the ties that bind
seems like I'm never gonna find the time
to do what I need.
That's to find me a place where I think talk about love,
laugh, and drink. And there's someone there who cares.
Chorus
G D
cause no matter how big the storms
G A
I know I can find me a place that's warm.
G A D Bm G
The sun is shining somewhere in Texas. I hope it's shining on her
A G D
somewhere down in Texas.
D
In a place that big a man could get lost never mind the time forget about
the cost.
Bm G A G
There's more important things.
D
Shes' somewhere smiling north of San Antone I've got her number but I stare at the phone.
Bm G A D
Cause I still want to believe.
CHORUS
Bm G D
To hell with horoscopes and empty dreams
Bm G D A
to hell with Valentino in his cut pair of jeans.
G A G A Bm G A G
Cause I know I can make it there on a twelve pack and a prayer.
CHORUS
D G Em A
