700 miles is a long way
Em
It's even longer alone
GCadd9G
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
GD
'Cause music was callin' my name
Am
But I still love you baby
C
And one thing won't change
GD
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
CD
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
AmC
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
ChorusAm
I'd do anything to hold you
Em
try my best to show you
AmCD
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
AmCD
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
CD
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
AmCD
These few things will always stay the same
AmCD
And I can't wait to prove to you someday
NC
my love is that way
