VERSE
C
I woke up this morning not feeling right
And it wasn’t the beer that I drank last night
F
It’s the state I’m in
C
I just know I’m not where I’m meant to be
I heard a southern wind callin’ out to me
F
Go back home again
G F
Now I’m standin’ at the lonely end of the path I chose
G F G
And I can’t stop thinking about all the things I miss the most
CHORUS
G C G F
Might be those Saturday nights and the honky tonks and the rodeos
C G Dm F
Or the way the sun sets in the hills of San Antonio Oh
C G
Might be the dust on my boots, the miles of fence line
Am F
That ole Rio Grande or the wide open sky
Dm G
But my best guess is
C G F
It’s that girl in Texas
VERSE 2
C
I spent all day packin up my truck
And my boss forgot to wish me luck
F
When I said so long
C
It's high time I undue my mistake
So I’ll drive all night down that interstate
F
Till I’m all the way gone
G F
I know deep down in my heart it’s what I’ve gotta do
G F G
And if anyone asks me what I’m most looking forward to Yea
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
G F
Yea I can’t wait to see her smiling face
G F G
And I couldn’t tell you why I ever left that place
LAST CHORUS
C G F
I miss those Saturday nights and the honky tonks and the rodeos
C G Dm F
And the way the sun sets in the hills of San Antonio Oh
C G
Her beautiful smile, bright blue eyes
Am F
Holdin’ her close in the moonlight
Dm G
What I miss most is
C
That girl in Texas
Dm G
What I love most is
C G F
That girl in Texas
C G F
That girl in Texas
OUT
F C
