    Deep In The Heart of Te...

Capo 4 
 
      D5              C5          G5 
I was singing at the ol' Broken Spoke  
             E5        C5            D5 
I could have swore she came walking in 
           D5          C5           G5 
Forgot the words to a song that I wrote 
        E5        C5          D5  
Must be losing my mind once again 
 
Her daddy is a southern Baptist preacher 

I had to choose her or the bars where I sang  

Now when I call I can't seem to reach her 

I'm gonna find her if it's the last thing 
 

        C5     E5        D5 
So I'll drive all night long 
       C5    E5            D5  
Till I find where we went wrong 
            C5  E5      D5 
But there's no love in sight 
           D5   C5          G5 
Just those lonely Lubbock lights  
 
I was ready to give up the road 
As I turned onto her street 
But the silhouette there in her window 
Was of someone who once looked like me 
I'd placed a price on her heart 
But someone else collected the bounty 
Now this lost soul don't know where to start 
I think I'm lost somewhere in Hill County 
 
Chorus 
 
That west Texas wind grew colder 
As I left her further behind me  
Sometimes I stop and cry on the shoulder 
Cause every town I pass helps to remind me
