             A              D 
I don't want to be alone The rays of light through my Shiner Bock? bottle make

 what I need. That's to find me a place where I think talk about love, laugh, and 
        G                    Em          A              D

somewhere in Texas.  I hope it's shining on her somewhere down in Texas.

In a place that big a man could get lost never mind the time forget about the cost. 
G                          A          D 
There's more important things. Shes' somewhere smiling north of San Antone
