[Verse]
G G/F# Em C
I got drunk in Austin, Texas
G D C
I missed my plane in North Carolina
G A D G
Spent all of my money, on a long distance call
G/F# Em C
Huntsville Prison walls so high
G D C
I?m so lonesome I could die
G D
You could make a grown man cry
G G A B D
If you wanted to.

[Chorus]
G Am D
Say goodbye to Houston for me
C G
Give my best to San Antone
Am D
Tell Dallas there?s a change in plans
G
I won?t be comin? home.

[Verse]
G G/F# Em C
Dallas lives in Winston, Salem
G D C
We got married in a West Virginia
G A D G
Then we moved to Texas, on a fifty-acre farm
G/F# Em C
I robbed a bank and shot a man
G C
Ended up in Birmingham
G D
But I guess I tipped my hand
G G A B D
And wound up in the pen.

[Chorus] (x3)
G G/F# Em C
Houston is my oldest daughter
G D C
Says she?s leavin? for New York City
G A D G
She?s gonna make her living, raising for a star
G/F# Em C
San Antone?s my only son
G C
Please don?t tell him what I?ve done
G D
Or that I had to use my gun
G G A B D
Or that I killed a man.
