Db5                      Db5           F#5          Db5
It was freezing cold in Dallas when I made my get away 
            Db5               F#5                G#5
I out ran a cold front when I gave my truck the reins 
Db5                Db5     F#5                Db5
Barreling down I- 35 with one thought on my mind 
           Bb5           F#5                     G#5       Db5
Forget the race, find an open space, leave that city far   

behind 
G#5                Db5          G#5              Db5
Well, hello there Austin, you look to be just fine 
G#5            Db5         G#5
Pardon me San Marcos but I'm trying to make some time 
          F#5                         Db5         Bb5
There's a storm in my rearview and a city on my nerves 
          Db5                   F#5
There's a peace of mind in the straight away 
            G#5
And there's comfort in the Db curves 
Db5                   Bb5      F#5              Db5
I didn't pull off in Von Ormy like I normally do 
                  Bb5                     F#5          G#5
I went on down to Dveine town, I bought a six pack or two 
          Db5             Bb5             F#5             Db5
I glanced back across my shoulder like a seventh season   

buck 
                Bb5               G#5                Db5
All I saw was a wall of clouds, I hopped back in my truck 
G#5             Db5         G#5             Db5
Guttentag, New Braunfels, how are you to day? 
G#5        Db5          G#5
Hola, ol' San Antone, please stand out of my way 
          F#5                         Db5         Bb5
There's a storm in my rearview and a city on my nerves 
          Db5                   F#5
There's a peace of mind in the straight-away 
            G#5             Db5
And there's comfort in the curves 
 
instrumental: 
Db5                      Bb5         F#5              Db5
Well I know that mother nature will catch me in the end 
                        Bb5                F#5               G#5
But I'll put some miles behind me before I turn to face the   

wind 
          Db5                   Bb5       F#5          Db5
Don't you leave that barn door open, not even just a   

crack 
                   Bb5             G#5           Db5
If I see a hint of daylight you'll never get me back 
G#5              Db5          G#5              Db5
Well, hello old Batesville, do you remember me? 
G#5                    Db5            G#5
And look out there La Pryor but I'm coming through can't you  
Db5
see? 
          F#5                         Db5         Bb5
There's a storm in my rearview and a city on my nerves 
          Db5                   F#5
There's a peace of mind in the straight-away 
            G#5             Db5
And there's comfort in the curves 
Db5                           Bb5     F#5                G#5
I say I'm  barreling down I- 35 with one thought on my   

mind 
Db5                        Bb5                    F#5
Forget the race, find and open space, leave that city 
     G#5                  Db5
That damned old city far behind 
N.C.                             Db5
Leave that city way far behind.
