Well my wife returns from taking

My little girl to school
          A
She's got beads of perspiration

As she tries to keep her cool
         D
She says that mess it don't get no better

There's gonna come a day
     F
Someone's gonna get killed out there
      G                   A
And I turn to her and say Texas

She says what?
       Em
I said Texas
         A
She says what?
            D
They've got big long road out there
