[G]
[G]
I'm a wild blue blaster from a sunburned California [Gm] town.
[G] [C] I got a live Stratocaster that can burn any road [G] I've down.
You know I've been up on the mountain and I've looked for the promised land.
[C] And I've been to the Ash Grove and I shook lightning's hand.
[G] Now I'm deep into the night and [D] deep what I'm down in [G] Lubbock bound.
I'm an old flatlander from the great [C] high plains.
[G]
[C] Like wanderlust and wonder, West Texas wind blowed through my [G] veins.
But it seemed like California was the place to be [C] for any country singer.
That was me, [G] I'm leaving tonight [D] on Lubbock to [G] [C] Downey found.
[G]
[C]
[Gm] [G] [Ab] [Em] [G]
40 years on the highway, living on dreams of gasoline.
[Gm] [G]
[C] Somehow still surviving [E] on [C] that Bill [G] Nyquil and Dick and Gene.
[Gm] [G]
Every city and every heartbreak, every hopeful kiss, [C] every road I've traveled has led me to [G] this.
So I'm leaving tonight, deep [D] what I'm down in [G] Lubbock bound.
I took a lot of detours, called the slacks [C] and did in.
[G] [C] [G]
[C] But I've made a [F] lot of [C] music and I've made a [G] lot of friends.
Well I took a lot of turns, maybe some were not that good.
[Am] But I had to [C] do it over, well I surely mostly would.
[G] I'm leaving tonight [D] on Lubbock to [G] Downey found.
[Em] [Gm] [G]
[Em] [Gm]
[C] [F] [C]
[G]
[Gm]
[C] [Gm]
[D]
[G]
Well I'm a wild blue blaster looking to find what can be found.
[Fm]
I'm [C] an old flatlander, I've been rounding, [Gm] rounding, rounding.
[G]
Well now someday this whole highway's gonna come to an end.
But [C] I know when it does you're gonna be my friend.
[G] So I'm leaving tonight, [D] Jimmy, I'm down in [G] Lubbock bound.
I'm leaving tonight, [D] I'm Lubbock to [G] Downey found.
[Gm] [G]
[Bbm] [G] I'm leaving tonight, [D] man, I'm down in [G] Lubbock bound.
I'm leaving tonight, [D] I'm Lubbock to Downey [G] found.
