  			D            D/F#         G                      D 
Every night, Texas skies, yeah, they'll make you sing 
D                        D/F#              A  
There's many nights I've looked to you and wondered what the night would bring 
D             D/F#              G                         D 
Could tonight be the night that man will walk through the door 
D                        D/F#                       A            D 
And tell me Son, pack it up, you're done, you won't play here anymore 
 
 
Hill country nights, blue collar days, you take the good with the bad 
And I wouldn't trade one of them nights for all the fun we've had 
Where barstools would turn into thrones, they made you feel like a king 
Seiing all them people smile when you started to sing 

D             D/F#       G                 D 
I'd recognize navy skies over the trees so green 
    D              D?F#               A 
And how you'd feel right at home in a cool hill country breeze 
D           D/F#                    G               D 
A Texas sky filled with stars, yeah Lord I seen 'em all 
D                   D/F#           A          D 
And Lord I hope and pray I'll shine and never fall 
 
 
My body's beginning to show them years of wear and tear 
But I never thought I'd live so long to see you standing there 
Side by side, night after night, we gave her one helluva ride 
I don't need any damn award to validate my pride 
 
Chorus
