The Charlie Daniels Band - Sweetwater texas

^FWhen I was a ^Gyoung man in ^FSweetwater ^FTexas ^FJust one thing ^Fstayed on my ^Gmind ^FTo ride a white ^Ghorse over ^FDurango ^Fmountain And leave ^FSweetwater Texas ^Fbehind But I turned twenty ^Gone there in ^FSweetwater ^FTexas Just one thing ^Fmade me stay ^Gthere

^FI wanted to ^Gleave, but ^FI was in ^Flove ^AmThe girl with the ^Fchestnut brown ^Fhair

^FAnd there came a ^Gtime, ^Fwhen she said shed be ^Fmine ^AmAnd go any ^Fplace any ^Gtime So we ^Frode a grey ^Gdog over ^FDurango ^Fmountain And left ^FSweetwater ^GTexas be^Fhind

^FIt was thundering and l^Gightning when we ^Fleft Nolan ^FCounty ^FThe bus rolled ^Falong through the ^Gnight ^FAnd old 36 was a^F magic black ^Fdemon ^Fleading towards the ^Gcitys bright ^Flights ^Fwe pulled into ^GHouston at ^Ften in the ^Fmorning ^Four hopes were as ^Fhigh as the ^Gsky ^Fbut hopes turn to ^Gweeks, then ^Fyears, then ^Fforever I never ^Amknew how f^Gast time goes ^Fby

^FAnd cowboys sellin ^Gcars ^FAnd country girls in ^Fbars ^AmSomehow ^Fjust don’t see^Gm fair And I ^Fwanted to ^Gdie cause I ^Fknew I was ^Floosing ^FThe girl with the ^Gchestnut brown ^Fhair

^FSo many times I ^Gsaid Id r^Father be ^Fdead ^FThan take downs to go to ^Gbed ^FAnd ups to clear my ^Fhead But If the good lord sees his ^Gway To let me ^Flive one more ^Fday Am (HOLD) G Im so tired of being alone Gonna ^Fride a white ^Ghorse over ^FDurango ^Fmountain And make ^FSweetwater ^GTexas my ^Fhome.
