Intro D5 G5 E5 A5 ( 2 Times) 

D5 G5 
When I look south and see the storm clouds roll, on their way to old Mexico 
             A5              D5 
I don't want to be alone The rays of light through my Shiner Bock? bottle make 
G5             E5          A5 D5 
me wanna turn the key and put down the throttle and get lost down 35 When I 
G5 
get tied down by the ties that bind seems like I'm never gonna find the time to do 
  A5             D5 
 what I need. That's to find me a place where I think talk about love, laugh, and 
        G5                    E5          A5              D5 
drink. And there's someone there who cares. 
 
Chorus 
G5 
 cause no matter how big 
          A5      G5                                                      A5 
the storms I know I can find me a place that's warm. The sun is shining 
                            D5     G5                                E5  A5 D5 G5 E5 A5 
somewhere in Texas.  I hope it's shining on her somewhere down in Texas. 
D5 
In a place that big a man could get lost never mind the time forget about the cost. 
G5                          A5          D5 
There's more important things. Shes' somewhere smiling north of San Antone 
                                                                       G5 E5   A5               D5 
I've got her number but I stare at the phone. Cause I still want to believe. 
 
 Chorus 
D5                                                 G5               D5 G5 
To hell with horoscopes and empty dreams to hell with Valentino in his cut pair of 
         E5                                       A5 D5 
jeans. Cause I know I can make it there on a twelve pack and a prayer. 
 
Chorus
