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

   
G  O  (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.
