Intro: A D x2
A D
I bet this road will take me out of here
A D
Take me far away from Amarillo
A D
I bet this car will go real fast, the wheels might even drive me past
A D
Places that you said I'd never go
A D A D
Oh...
A D
The Texas sky is the biggest one I've seen
A D
But it still ain't big enough for you and me
A D
All the things that make you mad and all the baggage in your past
A D
Don't leave much room for a girl like me to be
A D
So I'll fill her up with hope and worn-out dreams
CHORUS
A
And I'll grab the wheel and I'll point it west
E
Pack the good and leave the rest
D
And drive until I find the missing piece
A E
You said I wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas and an empty heart
D
But I got everything I'll ever need
E D A A D A D
I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings
A D
Mama said I never should have done it
A D
I should have ended us before we ever started
A D
Daddy knew about my pride so he stood there and he smiled inside
A D
I pretended that I didn't notice
A D
The little tear that fell when I said I was going
REPEAT CHORUS
E D
I've worried about life and if it's arriving right on time
E D
I guess if you don't jump you'll never know if you can fly
A E
You said I wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas and an empty heart
D
But I got everything I'll ever need
E D A
I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings
A D & fade out
