Back To Texas - John D. Hale Band
[Intro]
Pick D
[Verse]
D A G A
Well you had me pack all my things And then we hit the road
D A G A
We drove for seven hundred miles To what you called Our new home
G A D A Bm
A place in Kansas City Where you said that you could chase your dreams
G A G A D
Never once thinkin about The dreams you once had in me
[Verse]
D A G A
We hadn''t been there a month or so When you decided that you''d leave
D A G A
You met a big shot banker Who could give you more than me
G A D A Bm
You never give me a second thought Hell, you never thought twice
G A G A D
You just packed your dreams and left outta town And never even said goodbye
[Chorus]
D A G A
So I''m going back to Texas to the hill country that I love
D A G A
Going back to blue bonnets, collegiate dirt, and mesquite scrubs
G A D A Bm
I''m going back to the place I love And that''s where I''ll always be
G A G A D
I''m going back to chase my dreams and finally start being me
[Verse]
D A G A
I guess the good Lord has a plan For what we do in life
D A G A
I guess he had it in his mind you weren''t meant to be my wife
G A D A Bm
I was put here to play music And that''s what I''m gonna do
G A G A D
I''m on my way back down to Tejas To play music I ain''t chasin you
[Chorus]
D A G A
So I''m going back to Texas to the hill country that I love
D A G A
Going back to blue bonnets, collegiate dirt, and mesquite scrubs
G A D A Bm
I''m going back to the place I love And that''s where I''ll always be
G A G A D
I''m going back to chase my dreams and finally start being me
[Verse]
D A G A
Well, girl you made me someone That I don''t ever wanna be again
D A G A
Talked me out of chasin my dreams Just to make me lose in the end
G A D A Bm
One day girl you''ll wake up And be alone and by yourself
G A G A D
And then you''ll have to own up And play the cards you dealt
[Chorus]
G A G A D
Going back to chase my dreams and finally start being me
