Chorus: 
    D                                     A  
How can I run to her when I'm clinging to you 
A                                                              D 
Thinkin’ about the things we’ve done and the things we used to do 
D                                           G 
Thought it over in my mind, maybe a time or two 
    A                                     D  
How can I run to her when I'm clingin’ to you 
 
D                                           A  
I remember back when our love would feel no pain 
A                                           D 
Met you down in Austin baby standin’ in the rain 
     D                                                              G 
Your love is like the Texas weather, you never know what it’s gonna do  
    A                                     D 
How can I run to her when I'm clingin’ to you

I knew the bluebonnet plague would get you if you stayed too long in Doodyville 
I bet you were livin’ lookin’ for that south side thrill 
It’s the blues bar and the friends you love so what am I gonna do 
How can I run to her when I'm clingin’ to you 
 
Chorus 
 
 
How can I run to her when I'm clingin’ to you
