D5                   Am7 
If the storm doesn't k*ll me 
    C                 G 
the government will 
           D5       Am7       Fill1 
I've gotta get that out of my head 
       D         Am7         C         G 
It's a new day today and the coffee is strong 
  D       Am7      Fill11 
I finally got some rest 
  
So a man's put to task and challenges 
I was taught to hold my head high 
Collect what is mine, 
Make the best of what today has 
  
D*                     C*      Fill2 
Houston is filled with promise 
D*                   C* 
Laredo's a beautiful place 
D*                            C*                Fill2 
and Galveston sings like that song that I loved 
F                        G 
Its meaning has not been erased 
  
And so there are claims forgiven 
And so there are things that are gone 
  
Houston is filled with promise 
Laredo is a beautiful place 
and Galveston sings like that song that I loved 
Its meaning has not been erased 
  
F 
And some things, they fall to the wayside 
G                         D5 
Their memory is yet to be stilled 
F 
Belief has not failed me 
    G                        D5 
And so I am put to the test
