Burns like tears
                  GWhen (320003@1)the diamonds fall
DBurns (xx0232@1)like tears

           C (x32010@1)           G (320003@1)Cause the one I love is way out west
        Dand (xx0232@1)he never will need me.

(Chorus)

Gonna pack up my two-steppin' shoes
and head for the Gulf Coast plains
Wanna walk the streets of my old hometown
Where everybody knows my name
Gonna ride the train down the Galvaston
When the hurricanes blow in
Cause that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine
when your heart's blowin home in the wind

(Chorus)
