Misc Originals – Brooks Billings - Back To Texas (Guitar)

G   D   Em   C   
(let ring, soft picking)

G                          D
I’ve been gone a long while, chasing dreams down the road,

Em                         C
But the further that I wander, the heavier the load.

G                            D
Every sunrise in a new place, can’t shake this truth I’ve found,

Em                     C               G
My heart’s still beating steady for that Texas ground.

G
I wanna go back to Texas,

        D
That’s where I belong,

        Em
Where the nights are wide and starry,

       C
And the front porch feels like home.

       G
No matter where I’m standing,

        D
I know what keeps me strong-

        Em
I wanna go back to Texas,

C             G
My hometown.

Em                   D
The world keeps spinning faster,

        C               G
But there’s peace I can’t forget,

Em                 D
In the shadows of the longhorns,

        C             G
And the sun as it sets.

Em                    D
When I close my eyes at midnight,

       C               G
I can almost hear the sound,

Em                    D
Of the cicadas singing welcome,

       C          G
In my hometown.

G
I wanna go back to Texas,

        D
That’s where I belong,

        Em
Where the nights are wide and starry,

       C
And the front porch feels like home.

       G
No matter where I’m standing,

        D
I know what keeps me strong-

        Em
I wanna go back to Texas,

C             G
My hometown.
