[Verse]
               Em                          G
Colorado's too cold, snow gets the best of me
                             C                                         D
Just layin' there beside the fire place, looks like where you ought to be
               Em                         G
Oklahoma's too rich, with American histo- ry
                       C                                       D
Kinda funny how it re- minds me of all those books you used to read

                      C       D                     Em
And if stay gone much longer, I might really go in- sane
                         Am            Bm C                D           G
'Cause no matter where I go, I'll just be missin' you in a Texas kinda way

[Chorus]
                         Em    C                      G
And I keep seein' you in Hous- ton, down in Matagorda Bay
                         Am  Bm C                     D
Up on 6th Street in Aus- tin at the rodeo in Santa Fe
                                 Em     C                               Em
Might as well just lock me up in Hunts- ville, if your memory's here to stay
                         Am            Bm C                D           G
'Cause no matter where I go, I'll just be missin' you in a Texas kinda way

[Verse]
                        Em                             G
New York's got all them lights its the city that never sleeps
                              C                                     D
Detroit could sure build me a fast car to try and outrun your memo- ry
                        Em                                       G
Montana skies go on for miles like the love you said you had for me
                                C                                           D
But if I keep writin' all these sad songs, might as well just be in Tennes- see

[Chorus]
                         Em    C                      G
And I keep seein' you in Hous- ton, down in Matagorda Bay
                         Am  Bm C                     D
Up on 6th Street in Aus- tin at the rodeo in Santa Fe
                                 Em     C                               Em
Might as well just lock me up in Hunts- ville, if your memory's here to stay
                         Am            Bm C                D           G
'Cause no matter where I go, I'll just be missin' you in a Texas kinda way

Ah, no matter where I go, I'll just be missin' you in a Texas kinda way
