[intro]
G F/G C(9) D
Maybe we'll make Texas by the morning
G F/G C(9) D
Light the bayou with our taillights in the night
Eight hEmundred miles to El CPaso from the stGate
VERSE 2:
G F/G C(9) D
I'm in the back seat sleepy from the travel
G F/G C(9) D
Played our hearts out all night long in New Orleans
Em C G - Gs C/G
I'm dirty from the diesel fuel, drinking coffee black
-
liGsusne G F(9) C Am7 D7 And we never have the money for the flightWhen the Gfirst breath of TAm7exas comes in clD7susean D7
CHORUS:
And there's Gsomething about the Gsouthland in the sprCingtime C
Where the Gwaters flow with cB7onfidence and rEmeason C
Though I Gmiss her when I'm gGsus/Aone, it won't G/Bever be too lGsus/Cong
Till I'm Am7home again to spG/Bend my favorite sCeason D
When god mAm7ade me born a yG/Bankee he was teCasing D
There's no plEm7ace like home and nG/Bone more pleaCsing than the Dsouthland
in the springGtime C/G C F/C
In Georgia, nights are softer than a whisper
Beneath a quilt somebody's mother made by hand
With the farmland like a tapestry passed down through generations
And the peach trees stitched across the land
There'll be cider up near Helen off the roadside
And warm peanuts in a bag to warm your fingers
And the smoke from the chimneys meets its maker in the sky
With a song that winter wrote whose melody lingers
[Repeat chorus, end on last G.]
