[Chorus]
A       A        D          E
A Texas boy in a west coast town

A          A                  D       E
Got out of school and started roaming around

A      A    D        E
Headed west until he found

A           A              D      E     E
A girl that made him wanna settle down
[Verse 1]
A                      A            D    E
He bought the cheapest car from the repo lot

A         A      D          E
Drove it til the engine was shot

A               A            D      E
Rode for twelve hours in the bus he caught

A           A         D         E    E
And settled down in a brand new spot
[Verse 2]
A          A           D          E
He found a job and was paying his dues

A                A          D    E
Started drinking coffee and microbrews

A          A         D      E
Traded his boots for hiking shoes

A               A              D         E       E
Still a hundred miles from the girl he'd choose
[Verse 3]
A             A              D            E
She came down there with the tickets he'd send

A               A               D           E
They danced and talked straight through the weekend

A           A          D         E
Even though they were still just friends

A       A             D     E     E
He knew someday she'd marry him
[Verse 4]
A                A       D          E
She finally said yes and became his spouse

A        A            D           E
Even though he didn't have any cows

A     A        D          E
After they had said their vows

A                  A    D        E      E
She moved down and they bought a house
[Chorus]
A       A        D          E
A Texas boy in a west coast town

A          A                  D       E
Got out of school and started roaming around

A      A    D        E
Headed west until he found

A           A              D      E     E
A girl that made him wanna settle down
[Verse 5]
A               A           D    E
Then they moved down to Turkmenistan

A               A          D     E
That's where he became a teacher man

A            A               D    E
He got those kids to start to understand

A           A          D         E   E
But Covid hit and back home they ran
[Verse 6]
A          A           D       E
He found a band where he could belong

A           A                D       E
Bought a ukulele and started playing along

A              A           D            E
They didn't get mad if he got the chords wrong

A           A        D         E   E
And he sat down and wrote this song
[Chorus]
A       A        D          E
A Texas boy in a west coast town

A          A                  D       E
Got out of school and started roaming around

A      A    D        E
Headed west until he found

A           A              D      E     E
A girl that made him wanna settle down
