TEXAS HOLD 'EM
CAPO: 3rd FRET
[Intro]
G D/F# Em7 C
[Verse]
G D/F#
He knew Austin was a gamble as he loaded up that car
Em7 D
Just him and her, their little boy, some clothes and that guitar
C C
Hit I-35
G Dsus4
And drove on through the night
G D/F#
He chased every neon sign playing bar to bar
Em D
Strumming that ol' Gibson for tips in a jar
C
While she sat at home all alone
G D
And the nights got so long
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
And then one day he got in late, found a note on that guitar
C C
It said "I hope you catch your break and this is breaking my heart"
[Chorus]
G D/F#
But we're headed back to Kansas, no this ain't how I planned it
Em C
But I just can't do this anymore
G D/F#
And I don't wanna be the reason you ever stop your dreaming
Em7 C
But God I miss the way we were before
Em7 D
He thought if she makes Oklahoma I may never get 'em back
C G/B Am7
So he ran out to his truck, slammed his foot down on the gas and got going
C G D/F# Em7 C
Praying Texas Hold 'Em
[Verse]
G D/F#
The odds were against him but that didn't slow him down
Em7 D
He flew 90 miles an hour trying hard to make up ground
C
Hoping maybe they pulled off
G D
At that Fort Worth truck stop
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
He knew her cousin lived in Keller, they might stop to get some rest
C C
And all he could think about were the painful words he read
[Chorus]
G D/F#
That said we're headed back to Kansas, no this ain't how I planned it
Em C
But I just can't do this anymore
G D/F#
And I don't wanna be the reason you ever stop your dreaming
Em C
But God I miss the way we were before
Em D
He thought if she makes Oklahoma I may never get 'em back
C G/B Am
So he held onto the steering wheel with his foot down on the gas and kept going
C G
Praying Texas Hold 'Em
D/F#
Yeah, I could really use a hand
Em C C
A road block, a traffic stop, deal me anything you can
[Chorus]
G D/F#
'Cause they're headed back to Kansas, no this ain't how I planned it
Em C
And I don't wanna hurt 'em anymore
G D/F#
And I don't wanna be the reason she'd ever think of leaving
Em C
God I miss the way we were before
Em D
If she makes Oklahoma I may never get 'em back
C G/B Am
All I know to do is keep my foot on the gas and keep going
C G D/F# Em C
Aw Texas Hold 'Em
[Outro]
G D/F#
He knew Austin was a gamble as he loaded up that car
Em D
Just him and her, their little boy, some clothes and that guitar
C C
Hit I-35
G
And drove on through the night
