G5 
Ever since I was only two 
G5                                                   D5 
There's only been one thing I ever really wanted to do 
           G5                       C5 
Well put a guitar in my hand, hard work I understand 
  G5                 D5               G5 
I wanna grow up and play in a Texas band 
 
Right from the start I knew you couldn't see 

What country music could do to a man like me 

Yeah, blues and rock and roll they're buried down deep in my soul 

I had to grow up and play in a Texas band 


D5               C5                 G5 
Well I work all day but I play at night 
G5               E5                     A5 
How can this be wrong when it feels so right 
           C5            D5           G5    G5        E5      
Well put a guitar in my hand Oh now baby please understand 
C5           D5                  G5 
Tonight I'm playin' in a Texas band  
 
 
Baby you know I think you're out of sight 
And I'd love it if you'd just come out tonight 
Well out a cold one in your hand and come watch your singin' man 
Tonight I'm playin' in a Texas band 
 
Instrumental 
 
Well it's 2:00 in the morning it's time to go home 
but I can't drive at all I'm too damned stoned 
Yeah a bar that'll call me a cab, my tips pay off my tab 
Look at me I'm playin' in a Texas band 
 
Chorus 
 
Tonight I'm playin' in a Texas band
