Intro: G C (3x)
          G                  C               G
Well now Texas, I am just a little lost and beaten' down

             Em                 C                D      
Hell like a morning star thats ahead of me I am fadin' out

          C      Am7/B   Am              G    Em
But If I make it to the borders of that Rio Grande

             C                    D                  C (1 measure) G
Guess I can make it for one last sunset 'cross the prarie

 G          C                            G
Texas this morning the sounds they just sing to me

              Em                 C               D
'cause I am alive again and with every footstep sett'n me free 

   C  Am7/B   Am                          G             Em
If I keep my smile in touch with you the good times we spent in those hills 

          C            D               C          D     G
They will always be a part of me as I live in my Texas Memory
CHORUS:
    C    Am7/B        Am              G
Oh Texas I am just a little lost and beatn' down

               Em                  C                 D
but like that morning star thats ahead of me that's fadin' out

               C     Am7/B    Am             G    Em
I just hope I make it to the borders of the Rio Grande

          C                 D                  C           G    
So I can catch me one last sunset across the Prarie
SOLO (same as chorus except last line is like last line of 2nd verse)
G                            C                G
I see everything seems to be movin on so I am movin on

        Em           C               D
I don't deny I get a loneliness that comes sometimes

            C                 Am               G                      Em  
and all the miles and all the footsteps going down aint' how I keep a count, 

          C      D                    C             D    G
for every lonely stretch where I just kept on for keepin' on.
CHORUS (2x)
