Intro D Bm G A G ( 2 Times)  
  
D  
When I look south and see the storm clouds roll, on their way to old Mexico  
Bm                  G    A G      
I don't want to be alone  
D 
The rays of light through my Shiner Bock bottle me wanna turn the key and put down the throttle  
Bm      G        A D  
and get lost down 35  

When I get tied down by the ties that bind  
seems like I'm never gonna find the time  
to do what I need.  

That's to find me a place where I think talk about love,  
laugh, and drink. And there's someone there who cares.  
  
Chorus  
G                               D 
 cause no matter how big the storms  
G                                    A         
I know I can find me a place that's warm.  
            G      A            D                              Bm   G 
The sun is shining somewhere in Texas.  I hope it's shining on her  
A         G       D 
somewhere down in Texas.  



D  
In a place that big a man could get lost never mind the time forget about  
the cost.  
Bm                      G    A G  
There's more important things.  
D 
Shes' somewhere smiling north of San Antone I've got her number but I stare at the phone.  
Bm           G          A   D     
      Cause I still want to believe.  
  
CHORUS 


Bm            G             D 
To hell with horoscopes and empty dreams  
Bm            G               D           A     
to hell with Valentino in his cut pair of jeans.  
G                           A          G          A     Bm  G A G 
Cause I know I can make it there on a twelve pack and a prayer.  
  
CHORUS  

 D G Em A
