It was freezing cold in Dallas when I made my get away 
            Dbm               F#                G#
I out ran a cold front when I gave my truck the reins 
Db                Dbm     F#                Db
Barreling down I- 35 with one thought on my mind 
           Bbm           F#                     G#       Db
Forget the race, find an open space, leave that city far   

behind 
G#                Db          G#              Db
Well, hello there Austin, you look to be just fine 
G#            Db         G#
Pardon me San Marcos but I'm trying to make some time 
          F#                         Db         Bbm
There's a storm in my rearview and a city on my nerves 
          Db                   F#
There's a peace of mind in the straight away 
            G#
And there's comfort in the Db curves 
Db                   Bbm      F#              Db
I didn't pull off in Von Ormy like I normally do 
                  Bbm                     F#          G#
I went on down to Dveine town, I bought a six pack or two 
          Db             Bbm             F#             Db
I glanced back across my shoulder like a seventh season   

buck 
                Bbm               G#                Db
All I saw was a wall of clouds, I hopped back in my truck 
G#             Db         G#             Db
Guttentag, New Braunfels, how are you to day? 
G#        Db          G#
Hola, ol' San Antone, please stand out of my way 
          F#                         Db         Bbm
There's a storm in my rearview and a city on my nerves 
          Db                   F#
There's a peace of mind in the straight-away 
            G#             Db
And there's comfort in the curves 
 
instrumental: 
Db                      Bbm         F#              Db
Well I know that mother nature will catch me in the end 
                        Bbm                F#               G#
But I'll put some miles behind me before I turn to face the   

wind 
          Db                   Bbm       F#          Db
Don't you leave that barn door open, not even just a   

crack 
                   Bbm             G#           Db
If I see a hint of daylight you'll never get me back 
G#              Db          G#              Db
Well, hello old Batesville, do you remember me? 
G#                    Db            G#
And look out there La Pryor but I'm coming through can't you  
Db
see? 
          F#                         Db         Bbm
There's a storm in my rearview and a city on my nerves 
          Db                   F#
There's a peace of mind in the straight-away 
            G#             Db
And there's comfort in the curves 
Db                           Bbm     F#                G#
I say I'm  barreling down I- 35 with one thought on my   

mind 
Db                        Bbm                    F#
Forget the race, find and open space, leave that city 
     G#                  Db
That damned old city far behind 
N.C.                             Db
Leave that city way far behind.
