Intro:  G   Cadd9   Em    D    G   Cadd9    Em D G 
 
G                   Cadd9  G 
700 miles is a long way 
Em 
It's even longer alone 
G                          Cadd9  G 
It sure makes for a hard day 
Em 
Knowin' you're waiting back home 
Am 
But I have to remember 
C 
the reason why I'm here 
G                        D 
'Cause music was callin' my name 
Am 
But I still love you baby 
C 
And one thing won't change 
G                          D 
even if I find fortune and fame 
 
               G 
I'm still your Texas boy, born and raised 
Em 
On country music and football games 
Am 
you're still the girl in my heart 
C               D 
dream of being where you are 
G 
I won't forget where I'm from 
Em 
or why I'm here and who I love 
Am                                    C 
These few things will always stay the same 
D 
and my love is that way 
 
This faded old picture reminds me 
of every thing we've been through 
and this dream I've been chasing 
proves there's a lot left to do 
but I know this ain't easy 
you're falling to pieces but I promise wherever I am 
you'll always be with me, from your shadow to your heartbeat 
'Cause you make me a better man 
 
Chorus 
 
Am 
I'd do anything to hold you 
Em 
try my best to show you 
Am                C                      D 
that my love for you will always be the same 
Am 
and now I'm begging you to hold on 
Em 
to that feeling that was so strong 
Am             C                D 
the day that I stepped on that plane 
 
                    G 
Girl I'm still your Texas boy, born and raised 
Em 
On Dallas Cowboys and George Strait 
Am                           
you're still the girl in my heart 
C               D 
dream of being where you are 
G 
I won't forget where I'm from 
Em 
or why I'm here and who I love 
Am                     C              D 
These few things will always stay the same 
Am                  C              D 
And I can't wait to prove to you someday 
NC 
my love is that way
