[D]
Lately I've been thinking that I could [Bm] leave this town
[F#m] Cut back on my drinking [A] stop this running around
[D] playing songs till after midnight
Staying [Bm] up till dawn
There's [F#m] something in dust and [A] wind keeps me
And [G] I never [A] thought I'd live [D] to see the day [G] I'd say bye
[Bm] Ain't crying [A] that's first Texas [D] in my
I'll be your blue-eyed bandit if you'll be my [Bm]
renegade I
[F#] [F#m] Count a thousand [A] tumbleweeds roll by me every day
[D] I'd like to grow a rose and stow it in that [Bm] desert sage
[F#] Like a message in a bottle [A] floating down the open plains
[G] Where the I know [A] is the coddle [D] rises up to [G] meet the sky I?
[Bm] Ain't crying [A] that's where Texas in [D] my eye
I've seen thunder heads to sin and rip into [Bm] the ground
[F#m] the twisted hand of heaven [A] spreading terror all around
[D] Sending farmers in a deeper death in ranchers to [Bm] the grave
[F#m] Where towers mark the end of [A] time with slowly spinning blades?
[G] Till the water [A] table fall [D] below the reach
[G] Humankind [Bm] I ain't crying that's [A] where Texas in [D] my
Lately [Bm] [A] [D]

I've been thinking I could leave [Bm] this town
[F#m] Cut back on my drinking [A] and stop this running around
[D] Playing songs till after midnight and [A] staying up [Bm] till dawn
But [F#m] there's something in the dust and [A] wind keeps me hanging on
[G] And I never thought [A] I'd live to see [D] the day I said
