              Intro:A D A E7 A D A 
 
   A
Well... I been packed up some two weeks ago. 
                                                                       
My truck's gased up and ready to roll. 
D                                               A                          
Just might get a ticket or two,but that's alright. 
E7                                       A        D       A
Cause I'm going to Texas to see my baby tonight. 
A
Thinkin' bout her sends chills up my spine. 
 
There's a feelin' I get when I cross the state line. 
D                                 A
Her pickup truck will be next to mine. 
E7                                       A        D       A
Cause I'm going to Texas to see my baby tonight. 
 
Chorus
 
D 
Colorado's quite a sight 
A                                                                                                        
But I'd rather see my baby in those rugged mountain jeans. 
D                            E7 
Gettin cold at night,she can keep me warm 
A                                              D 
If you know what I mean ...........,LoneStar shining bright.
A
Shines a little brighter,when she's with me. 
E7                                  A         D        A
So I'm going to Texas to see my baby tonight.
 
(Chorus ends)
 
A 
Live a long life livin out on the road. 
 
When the only friend of yours' is the radio. 
D                                                       A
But even he fades in and out every now and then. 
E7                                  A          D          A                       
Girl I made a mistake I ain't goin to make again. 
A                
The closer I get seems the faster I go. 
 
The only thing between us now is New Mexico. 
D                                                  A                                          
It's just a matter of time before I hold her tight. 
E7                                       A           D      A 
Cause I'm going to Texas to see my baby tonight.
