The song is in the key of E

Verse:
     EWhen (022100@1)I look south and see the storm clouds roll,
                            C#mon (x13321@4)their way to old Mexico
                      A (x02220@1)   BI (x2444x@1)don't want to be alone

The rays of light through my Shiner Bock bottle
make me wanna turn the key and put down the throttle
and get lost down 35

           (B    A (x02220@1)  B)  then back to verse chords

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:
 C#m (x13321@4)                          ACause (x02220@1)no matter how big the storms
  C#m (x13321@4)                               BI (x2444x@1)know I can find me a place that's warm.
                                    EThe (022100@1)sun is shining somewhere in Texas.?
C#m (x13321@4)                  AI (x02220@1)hope it's shining on her
A (x02220@1) B (x2444x@1)            E (022100@1)     C#m (x13321@4)    A (x02220@1)    Bsomewhere (x2444x@1)down in Texas.

In a place that big a man could get lost
never mind the time forget about the cost.
There's more important things.

Shes' somewhere smiling north of San Antone
I've got her number but I stare at the phone.
Cause I still want to believe.

 Chorus

C#m (x13321@4)            A (x02220@1)           ETo (022100@1)hell with horoscopes and empty dreams
C#m (x13321@4)            A (x02220@1)                     Bto (x2444x@1)hell with Valentino in his cut pair of jeans.
   A (x02220@1)                       BCause (x2444x@1)I know I can make it there
       A (x02220@1)         B (x2444x@1)         C#m (x13321@4)   A (x02220@1)    B (x2444x@1)     Eon (022100@1)a twelve pack and a prayer.
