[E]
We left Pensonita's, it was almost [A] dark,
Wanna [E] cross the desert at night.
Goin' on to Texas, got a lot of miles [F#] ahead,
There's a liquor store [B] open on the right.
[E] Well, let's jump out and get us a case of cold beer,
Don't wanna get thirsty on the road.
[A] Somebody [E] hand me that George [B] Jones tape,
And we'll get [E] ready to roll.
Headin' out across Southern [A] California,
Leavin' the [E] West Coast behind.
I gotta get [C#m] back to hear some country [F#] music,
And I'm talkin' about [B] the Texas Times.
[E] Ernest Tubwell and Nelson Lefkowitz,
[A] Ravel and old Bob Wilder [B] still the king.
[A] Well, they can blow more [E] swords than put [B] together
Than the whole damn [E] state of Tennessee.
[A] And as soon as I cross Texas state [E] line,
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
[A] I'm gonna hang my head out the window,
[B] Give you a little a-hoo,
[E] And then I'll stop at the first little grocery store,
Or any little honky-tonk bar,
Pour some lone star [A] beer and some Wolf Brand [B] chili,
And a big old [C#m] LaFerris Big R.

Well, it was still pit black when we made [A] Arizona,
And already it's [E] 102.
Well, that's the new and all-night trucker [F#] station wall.
Somebody [B] hand me a broom,
But [E] Lord, I think we must be getting closer,
I can smell that West Texas wind.
[A] When I get back [E] to my home sweet [B] home,
Lord, I'm never gonna [E] leave again.
[Bm] Well, the sun was [B] high in the mid-state,
[A] I was crossing the [E] New Mexico,
And it's [C#m] hard to believe we're only halfway to [F#] Austin
When we get to [B] El Paso.
[E] But I ain't gonna mind the last part of the journey,
Driving through the state I love,
With the Texas countryside stretching out before [B] us,
And the blue Texas [E] skies above.
[A] And as soon as I cross the Texas state [E] line,
I'll tell you what I'm [G#] gonna do,
I'm gonna [A] hang my head out the window,
[B] And give it a little eee-hoo,
[E] And then I'll [C#m] stop at the first little grocery store,
