As recordd by Flatland Cavalry (2024 release) [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
If you're heading West on 84

G
You're in her driveway

G
She'll greet you with a welcome mat of cotton fields

G
And a wind turbine bouquet

G
Sinking summer sun's her porch light

G
It's so bright I look away

G
Mac Davis playing on my stereo

G
Brings a smile to my face

                      F Cadd9
God, I miss this place
[Chorus]
G
Take me home where the air is dry

G
And the cotton and the winter wheat grow knee-high

                                                F  Cadd9
I tell ya friend I ain't seen a prettier sunset sky

G
A little windy, but I don't mind

G
Little breeze through my hair suits me just fine

                                    F    Cadd9
And ya gotta see them stars burn at night

        D
Feeling low from the road

D
Time to head back home

Cadd9                                G
Nothing like a bit of Lubbock to get me high
[Verse 2]
G
She's quite an artsy lady, she gave birth to rock n' roll

G
If you asked her where her heart is

G
She'd tell you she's got country in her soul

G
And you can hear 'em singing on Broadway

G
Or down in the Depot

G
The ghost of Buddy Holly

          F                     Cadd9
Is still alive and singing this song
[Chorus]
G
Take me home where the air is dry

G
And the cotton and the winter wheat grow knee-high

                                                F  Cadd9
I tell ya friend I ain't seen a prettier sunset sky

G
A little windy, but I don't mind

G
Little breeze through my hair suits me just fine

                                    F    Cadd9
And ya gotta see them stars burn at night

        D
Feeling low from the road

D
Time to head back home

Cadd9                                G
Nothing like a bit of Lubbock to get me high
[Bridge]
Em                            G
Farmers working hard all week breaking their backs

        Em                      G
Sending prayers to an Autumn harvest moon

       Em                             G
And on Saturdays they paint that town scarlet and black

        Em               Cadd9            D
Off the 19th street down where the lights are blue
[Guitar Solo] G F Cadd9 [Chorus]
G
Take me home where the air is dry

G                                             Cadd9
And the cotton and the winter wheat grow knee-high

        G                                         F  Cadd9
Where a boy and a girl with a dream can touch the sky

G
A little windy, but I don't mind

G
Little breeze through my hair suits me just fine

G
Ya oughta hear them victory bells

                  F        Cadd9
Ringing on a Saturday night

        D
Feeling low from the road

D
Time to head back home

       Cadd9
To the friendliest place I've ever known

D                            Cadd9          G
Nothing like a little bit of Lubbock to get me high
[Outro] G F Cadd9 G F Cadd9 G F Cadd9 G
