Standard tuning with capo on first fret

Intro G , D , C , same progression throughout song

Ohio was a riverbank
A 10 speed layin' in the weeds
Cannonball off an old rope swing
Long, long summer days

Tennessee was a guitar
First big dream of mine
If I made it, yeah, that'd be just fine
I just wanted to play, I just wanted to play, but...

CHORUS
Em - D - C      G          D      C    
Texa-s was green eyes crying goodbye
Em
Was a long drive
D           C         Em     D      C
A heartache I'm still trying to get through
No chord     G - D - C
Texas was you


Carolina was a black car
A big white number three
California was a yellow jeep
Cruisin' down Big Sur

Georgia was a summer job
And 'Bama was a spring break
I got memories all over the place
But only one still hurts, only one still hurts like

CHORUS
Texas was green eyes crying goodbye
Was a long drive
A heartache I'm still trying to get through
Texas was you

Texas was my whole life waving goodbye
Thought I'd die
A heartache I'm still trying to get through
Texas was you

It will always be you
