intro-
C                    G      D                       G
well take me home to texas, its where im meant to be
C                    G                D
like a cowboy on the prarie wild and free
C                    G           D                C           
where the grand ole oprey is a dancehall down in gruene
                     G        D                     G C G CD 
well take me home to texas, its where im meant to be


G                                          C                
ive been up and down this highway, a hundred times before,
        G                                  D
but i dont recall it ever being quite this long,
G                                 C
one night to go on a two week run of one night stands,
     D
till i get to take some time off for the road,
C                                           D
i can see that lonestar guideing me back home,

Chorus-
C                                    D
Nashville's nice, it aint Austin Texas,
G                    G7                    Em
the tennesee river's nothin like the rio grande,
C                         D                      
the sunset on the smokeys is quite a sight to see,
 G                 G7                 Em
but nothin like blue bonnetts in the spring,
C                                 D
to tell the truth, i like both places,
   C           D                   G C G CD
tennesee's nice, but it aint texas.


G                                             C
I like the Memphis blues and the big ole hills of knoxville,
    G                                             D
but my hearts around New Braufuls and ole Gruene Hall,
 G                                          C
i got the pedal to that floor board, just to see how far it'll go,
 D
i gotta keep these wheels a turnin, til they carry me back home,
