Well a ramlblin gal

 F               C
Since you were young

    C
One big ball of yarn

         G             C
That was too tightly spun

     C
When you came unraveled

         F                  C
Girl you really got strung out

           C
And if you ever wind back up

Well that's something I doubt

Oh Galveston Bay looks pretty at night

           F              C          G
The water dancing in the drilling rig lights

    F               C          G             Am

But we'll come back for more

     C                           F      C

As the barges keep steamin

         G         C
Down the San Louis pass

Under the black smoke

The engines they roar

And i'm right where you left me

      G           C
Right next to the shore

Man I aint got a clue

         C
You took my red heart

               G       C
And turned it lavender blue

        C
Say you aint goin nowhere

F                C

Wherever you are

If you ever decide
