D
WE LEFT ENSENIENAS IT WAS ALMOST DARK
G                          D
WANDER CROSS THE DESERT AT NIGHT
GOIN'' HOME TO TEXAS GOT A LOT OF MILES AHEAD
          E            E7          A
THERE''S A LIQUOR STORE OPEN ON THE RIGHT
           D
WELL LET''S JUMP OUT AND GET US A CASE OF COLD BEER
      G                        D
DON''T WANNA GET THIRSTY ON THE ROAD
   G                  D
SOMEBODY HAND ME THAT GEORGE JONES TAPE
    A                  D
AND WE''LL GET READY TO ROLL
HEADIN'' OUT ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
LEAVIN'' THE WEST COAST BEHIND
I GOTTA GET BACK TO HEAR SOME COUNTRY MUSIC
AND I''M TALKIN'' BOUT THE TEXAS KIND
ERNEST TUBB, WILLIE NELSON, LEFTY FRIZZELL
AND OLD BOB WILLS IS STILL THE KING
WELL THEY CAN BLOW MORE SOUL WITH THEM PUT TOGETHER
THAN THE WHOLE DAMN STATE OF TENNESSEE
Chorus:
       G
AND AS SOON AS I CROSS THE TEXAS STATE LINE
  D
I TELL YOU WHAT IM GONNA DO
          G
I''M GONNA HANG MY HEAD OUT THE WINDOW
         D     A
AND GIVE YO-DI-LE-DI-HOO
          D
THEN I''LL STOP AT THE NEXT GROCERY STORE
OR ANY LITTLE HONKYTONK BAR
         D                      G
FOR SOME LONESTAR BEER AND SOME WOLF BRAND CHILI
      A              D
AND A BIG OLD LEBEAR CIGAR
SOLO
WELL IT WAS STILL PITCH BLACK WHEN WE MADE ARIZONA
AND ALREADY IT''S A HUNDRED AND TWO
WE''RE LISTENIN'' TO AN ALL NIGHT TRUCKER STATION
WON''T SOMEBODY HAND ME A BREW
BUT LORD I THINK WE MUST BE GETTIN CLOSER
I CAN SMELL THAT WEST TEXAS WIND
WHEN I GET BACK TO MY HOME SWEET HOME
LORD I''M NEVER GONNA LEAVE AGAIN
WELL THE SUN WAS HIGH IN MIDWEST? SKY
WHEN WE CROSSED INTO NEW MEXICO
AND ITS HARD TO BELIEVE WERE ONLY HALF WAY TO AUSTIN
WHEN WE GET TO EL PASO
BUT I AIN''T GONNA MIND THE LAST PART OF THE JOURNEY
TRAVELLIN'' THROUGH THE STATE I LOVE
WITH THE TEXAS COUNTRY SIGHTS STRETCHIN'' OUT BEFORE US 
AND THE BLUE TEXAS SKIES ABOVE
REPEAT Chorus
FOR SOME LONESTAR BEER AND SOME WOLF BRAND CHILI
AND A BIG OLD LEBEAR CIGAR
