[G] Then last night I was driving around in Texas
Just about as lost as [Am] I could be
[D]
[B] Driving around in circles
[Em] Trying to find a bubble
[A] With all that I [D] could see
So [G] I stopped and flagged me down to state police
[Gm]
[G] I said, my patience is wearing [C] thin
But can you help me [C#m] get the hell out of Texas?
[E]
Well, he [A] just flashed [D] me that big old Texas green
He [G] said, you can't [D#] get the [D] hell out of Texas
[G] No matter how [Am] hard you try
[D]
[B] In Texas we [Dm] raise hell [Em] just like it was a crime
[A] It started [B] with the Alabama, [D] it ain't ever [F#] gonna stop
[G] Not as long [D#] as there's [G] Austin, Houston
Amarillo, Douglas, Dallas, [C] Fort Worth
No, you [C#] can't get the hell out of [E] Texas

Well, [Em] late last night I fell in love [C] with Texas
[Em] I called my dear old daddy on [C] the phone
I said, [G] I see the light, [D] ain't I?
But sure [Em] I found a man, [G] he's a good old [A] boy
And I ain't ever come [D] home
[F#]
He said, [G] you can't get [D#] the hell out [D] of Texas
[G] No matter how hard [E] you [D] try
[B] In Texas we raise hell [Em] just like it was a crime
[A] It started with the Alabama, [Bm] it ain't [E] ever gonna stop
[G] Not as long [D#] as there's [G] Austin, Houston
Amarillo, Douglas, Dallas, [Am] Fort Worth
No, you can't [C#] get the hell [G] out of Texas
[E]
[C#] Cause it's the [D] hell, [G] [E]
[A] cause it's the hell
[D] Santa Ravia, [E] no, [A] no
It's the [D] hell-raising Santa [G] Ravia
[C#] [C] [A]
[G]
[F#] [B] Man, [D] [A] that makes me [N] tired just thinking about it
I've [G] never played that many notes in a whole set
Much less in one song
You have to stay up here, Red
Come on, Red.
Come on, Red.
Okay, here's one
Here's one where Red really gets to go wild.
Or, uh, walled.
