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