intro
SOL FA/SOL DO(9) RE
Maybe we'll make Texas by the morning
SOL FA/SOL DO(9) RE
Light the bayou with our taillights in the night
MIm DO SOL - SOLsus SOL
Eight hundred miles to El Paso from the state line
FA(9) DO LAm7 RE7
And we never have the money for the flight
VERSE 2:
SOL FA/SOL DO(9) RE
I'm in the back seat sleepy from the travel
SOL FA/SOL DO(9) RE
Played our hearts out all night long in New Orleans
Em C G - Gs C/G
I'm dirty from the diesel fuel, drinking coffee black
SOL LAm7 RE7sus RE7
When the first breath of Texas comes in clean
CHORUS
SOL SOL DO DO
And there's something about the southland in the springtime
SOL SI7 MIm DO
Where the waters flow with confidence and reason
SOL SOLsus/LA SOL/SI SOLsus/DO
Though I miss her when I'm gone, it won't ever be too long
LAm7 SOL/SI DO RE
Till I'm home again to spend my favorite season
LAm7 SOL/SI DO RE
When god made me born a yankee he was teasing
MIm7 SOL/SI DO RE
There's no place like home and none more pleasing than the southland
SOL DO/SOL DO FA/DO - DO RE DO SOL - SOLsus SOL
in the springtime
In Georgia, nights are softer than a whisper
Beneath a quilt somebody's mother made by hand
With the farmland like a tapestry passed down through generations
And the peach trees stitched across the land
There'll be cider up near Helen off the roadside
And warm peanuts in a bag to warm your fingers
And the smoke from the chimneys meets its maker in the sky
With a song that winter wrote whose melody lingers
[Repeat chorus, end on last G.]
