Colors Are All The Same

C                                 
She was born in College Station; 
F                        C
her daddy had a farmer's PHD
C                                 
Her first steps were taken with 
  G
the Corps on Kyle Field
C                              F 
When she graduated, she bought a 
                   C
maroon pick-up truck
C                                 
They celebrated down at the Dixie 
G                             
Chicken when she opened her vet 
           C
practice up
C                       F        
Now he was born Austin, his daddy
                          C
 had a store down on the drag
C                               
Ever since the school had opened, 
   G
relatives were Longhorn grads
C                            F   
His room was painted orange, he 
                   C
was getting his degree
C                              
In the band playing French horn, 
    G                C
first row, second seat

[Chorus 1]
Am         G
Gig 'em Aggies, Hook 'em Horns
F                  G          C
One side's maroon, the other, burnt 
orange

[Verse]
C                        F       
He saw her at a concert, way 
               C
before Robert Earl Keen
C                               G
She was wearin' an Aggie shirt, to 
him it didn't mean a thing
C                              
He pushed his way on through the 
        F                          
crowd like any ol' hungry bull 
    C
would do
C                                 
When he was close enough he 
   G                       C
shouted, "Hey, mind if I sit by 
you'"
C                                 
She turned around and stared at 
   F                      C
him, couldn't believe her eyes
C                           
He had a burnt orange jacket, 
  G
Longhorns from side to side
C                              
Well she looked again and took a 
          F                     C
chance, said "That's OK with me"
C                               G
Something in that second chance 
                    C
went beyond the rivalry

[Chorus 2]
C                         F
When your eyes are closed and you're
 in the dark,
C               G          C
The colors are all the same
C                       F        
Just two beating hearts not 
         C
playing any games
Am          G
You can gig 'em, you can hook 'em
Continúa después del anuncio
F            G
One thing'll never change
C                         F
When your eyes are closed and you're
 in the dark,
C              G         C
The colors are all the same

[Verse]
C                                 
When she went to meet his Mother, 
F                         C
she was wearing a cowboy hat
C                             
When they left they hugged each 
         G
other, Mom said, "You're always 
welcome back"
C                                
When she took him home to Daddy, 
F                               
she worried about the ring in his 
   C
ear
C                               G
He was makin' pretty good money 
                            C
but his tattoo was pretty clear
C                                 
Well they decided to get married, 
F                    C
bridesmaids wore maroon
C                             
The ring bearer carried a burnt 
         G
orange package to the groom
C                              F 
Well the ring that he gave her 
                            C
was diamond mounted on two thumbs
C                             G  
Sitting on a Longhorn cradle, 
                       C
cause when it's said and done

[Chorus 2]
C                         F
When your eyes are closed and you're
 in the dark,
C               G          C
The colors are all the same
C                       F        
Just two beating hearts not 
         C
playing any games
Am          G
You can gig 'em, you can hook 'em
F            G
One thing'll never change
C                         F
When your eyes are closed and you're
 in the dark,
C              G         C
The colors are all the same

[Verse]
C                                 
Now all they had to do was figure 
     F                   C
out where they're gonna live
C                                 
Well they flipped a coin and that 
       G
is how she got her way over his
C                        
Well they vacationed up in 
             F                  
Kerrville, they went down to the 
      C
coast
C                                 
Their first born they named Earl, 
G                             C
you should have heard them boast
C                           F    
Every year at Thanksgiving, Earl 
                    C
could take either side
C                                 
All the birthday gifts he was 
  G
given were hints they couldn't hide
C                                
There were 12th man T-shirts and 
F                    C
Longhorns of every size
C                         G      
His first two words were, "Gig 
                             C
'em Bevo", always playing both sides

[Chorus 1]
Am         G
Gig 'em Aggies, Hook 'em Horns
F                  G          C
One side's maroon, the other, burnt 
orange

[Verse]
C                                 
When it came time to go to 
  F                        C
college, Earl didn't know what to do
C                             G
His Dad wanted him in Austin, his 
Mom in maroon
C                              F 
Well, the moral of this story, is
                         C
 if you listen to this song
C                             
Where do y'all think he went to 
            G                      
college', well , you just might be 
     C
wrong
C                                 
Well he tried both universities 
  F                         C
and you don't have to wonder how
C
He says with all sincerity...
G                              C
"I'm a Southwest Texas Bobcat now!"

[Verse]
C                         F
When your eyes are closed and you're
 in the dark,
C               G          C
The colors are all the same
C                       F        
Just two beating hearts not 
         C
playing any games
Am          G
You can gig 'em, you can hook 'em
F            G
One thing'll never change
C                         F
When your eyes are closed and you're
 in the dark,
C              G         C
The colors are all the same
