Texas Band
By James Hyland 	 


G
Ever since I was only two
G                                                   D
There's only been one thing I ever really wanted to do
           G                       C
Well put a guitar in my hand, hard work I understand
  G                 D               G
I wanna grow up and play in a Texas band

Right from the start I knew you couldn't see
What country music could do to a man like me
Yeah, blues and rock and roll they’re buried down deep in my soul
I had to grow up and play in a Texas band


Chorus:
D               C                 G
Well I work all day but I play at night
G               E7                     A
How can this be wrong when it feels so right
           C            D           G    G/F#        Em     
Well put a guitar in my hand Oh now baby please understand
C           D                  G
Tonight I'm playin' in a Texas band


Baby you know I think you're out of sight
And I'd love it if you'd just come out tonight
Well out a cold one in your hand and come watch your singin' man
Tonight I'm playin' in a Texas band

Instrumental

Well it's 2:00 in the morning it's time to go home
but I can't drive at all I'm too damned stoned
Yeah a bar that'll call me a cab, my tips pay off my tab
Look at me I'm playin' in a Texas band

Chorus

Tonight I'm playin' in a Texas band
