          F         C          
What the hell am I doing down in 
       D
Kansas City,
F             C              D
I know damn well it ain't where I 
belong,
F              C           
think I'll quit my job come 5 
    D
o'clock,
Continues after the ad
  C         G          D
find my lonely way back home,
F                C          
My baby said just what are you 
            D
trying to prove here,
F                      C          
do you really want to leave me here 
 D
alone,
          F             C      
I said I'm staring at this ocean 
     D
full of Yankees,
C                   G        D
and I'd rather be in Texas on my 
own.

Chorus
             A     G           D
So we were southbound 35, we were 
headed down the road,
          A          G      F    
hit the border by the morning, 
     C      D
let Texas fill my soul,
          F   C      D
yeah let Texas fill my soul.

The tears start to flow about the 
time that I was leaving,
she said I guess you better take me 
along,
God might have made me born a 
Yankee,
but it's time that I made Texas my 
home,
So we loaded her stuff into my 
pickup,
said good-bye to all my friends,
called my brother down in Austin,
said I'm headed home again.

Chorus
A
She had her feet up on the 
dashboard,
A
she was holding my hand and wearing 
only a smile,
A
she said it's gonna be hard to start
 all over,
         C                G       
but the feeling I have will make 
         D
it all worth while.
