Warm winds blowing

Heating blue sky

And a road that goes forever
--------------------------- VERSE 2 ********
A
   Been thinking 'bout it lately
Been watching some TV
     G
Been looking all around me
At what has come to be
     Dmaj7
Been talking to my neighbor
And he agrees with me
F     G              A
      It's all gone crazy
--------------------------- CHORUS *******
         A
Well my wife returns from taking
My little girl to school
          G
She's got beads of perspiration
As she tries to keep her cool
              Dmaj7
She says that mess it don't get no better
There's gonna come a day
     F
Someone's gonna get killed out there

      G                   A
And I turn to her and say Texas
She says what?
       G
I said Texas
She says what?
            Dmaj7
They've got big long road out there
F G --------------------------- VERSE 3 ********
           A
Warm winds blowing

        G
Heating blue sky

Dmaj7                    F
And a road that goes forever

G               A
   I'm going to Texas
