[E] _ _ _ _ _ [G] The Josh Abbott Band's [C] 2010 album, She's Like Texas, has taken [G] this little band from West
Texas to [C] unbelievable new heights.
[G] The title track is one of the biggest reasons why that album was [C] so popular.
Here's Josh with the story behind [G] that song.
I wrote She's Like [C] Texas actually when I was in an airport in [Am] Chicago.
My fiance, who [C] is now my wife, we had actually [Am] decided to take a break.
It was really more of her [D] decision than mine.
Anyway, [G] I just started thinking about all the great things about her.
I was [Am] so far away from home, I just [G] started parlaying these [D] aspects of [Am] the personality
traits that I [G] liked about her, and I just [Am] personalized them over to the Texas landscape and [G] culture.
I [C] just came up with [D] these songs where I have these [Am] interesting, what I feel like, metaphors.
[C] The title of that song best [G] exemplified the album, because every [D] song on that [C] album is
about her or [D] her family or [Am] Texas.
I [G] just thought, She's Like Texas, [C]
it's a great summation [G] of what the project [C] really is, [D] the
message that's coming [G] out of it.
_ Anyway, it ended up being our first number one single [A] on the charts, so it did really
well for us on the radio.
It's a [D] band favorite, people love singing it, so it's definitely [G] something that's helped
make our career.

She always holds her head up [Bm] high
She loves the [A] company of her [G] family _
