David Allan Coe – Houston Dallas San Antone (Guitar)

G     G/F#     Em            C
I got drunk in Austin, Texas

                     G         D    C
I missed my plane in North Carolina

                G           A             D    G
Spent all of my money, on a long distance call

     G/F#         Em            C
Huntsville Prison walls so high

                G       D   C
I?m so lonesome I could die

                 G             D
You could make a grown man cry

              G  G A B D 
If you wanted to.

G              Am            D
Say goodbye to Houston for me

                C     G    
Give my best to San Antone

                      Am             D
Tell Dallas there?s a change in plans

                  G
I won?t be comin? home.

G      G/F#     Em             C
Dallas lives in Winston, Salem

                    G       D     C
We got married in a West Virginia

                 G           A          D    G
Then we moved to Texas, on a fifty-acre farm

           G/F#     Em        C
I robbed a bank and shot a man

            G          C
Ended up in Birmingham

              G              D
But I guess I tipped my hand

                    G   G A B D
And wound up in the pen. 

 G      G/F#  Em              C
Houston is my oldest daughter

                       G        D    C
Says she?s leavin? for New York City

                     G      A              D    G
She?s gonna make her living, raising for a star

    G/F#     Em         C
San Antone?s my only son

                      G              C
Please don?t tell him what I?ve done

                 G         D
Or that I had to use my gun

                   G    G A B D
Or that I killed a man.
