Love Under The Texaco Sign

Capo 2

           D                               G           G/F#        Em
She had to get out of that small town, get out of that hole in the wall
G                  D                               Em               A
Stayin’ here would cause her more pain, she had to pull out of this stall
        D                                    G       G/F#  Em
Drivin’ east on I-10, just past Houston in a truckstop Texaco
          G                     D                    Em       G    A         D
Stood the man she was tryin’ to get away from, heart pounding, she turned to go


Ch 1:
Em             G                  D            A
Memories flash thru her mind to a day 5 years ago
           Em                 G              D                A
It was the first time at that same place, he said to her, “Hello”
    D                                     G    G/F#  Em
And outside near the station pumps by the city limit sign
        G             D                     Em  G          A      D
Under a blue moon and starry night , it was love under the Texaco sign


Up on the highway, the hum of the wheels helped to calm her shaking hands
If God intended them to be together he would have put it in his plans
So a hundred more miles away from here is a hundred miles less of hurt
She don’t know what's ahead for her but she'll take it, for better or worse

Chorus 2:
Another place, another time, it could have all worked out 
And in the night when she’s alone, her heart wants to scream out
And outside near the station pumps by the city limit sign
Under a blue moon and starry night , it was love under the Texaco sign
