Capo on 4th fret
               
  
   
           D              C          G  
Well I was singing at the ol? Broken Spoke   
              Em        C            D  
 I could have swore she came walking in  
            D          C           G  
 Forgot the words to a song that I wrote  
          Em        C          D   
I Must be losing my mind once again  
   
      D          C               G   
 Her daddy is a southern Baptist preacher 
            Em               C           D  
 I had to choose her or the bars where I sang 
             D               C             G   
 Now when I call you know I can?t seem to reach her  
            Em          C             D 
 I?m gonna find her if it?s the last thing  
   
   
 
         C     Em        D  
 So I?ll drive all night long  
        C    Em            D   
 Till I find where we went wrong  
             C  Em      D  
 But there?s no love in sight  
            D   C          G  
 Just those lonely Lubbock lights  
   
         D       C          G    
 I was ready to give up the road  
    Em       C        D 
 As I turned onto her street 
             D          C            G   
 Awe But the silhouette there in her window 
        Em          C                D  
 Was of someone who once looked like me  
     D               C        G  
 Awe well I placed a price on her heart  
         Em      C          D 
 someone else collected the bounty  
          D               C             G  
 Now this lost soul don?t know where to start  
             Em         C              D 
 I think I?m lost somewhere in Hale County  
   
 Chorus  
 
       D         C          G   
 That west Texas wind grew colder 
       Em         C        D  
 As I left her a further behind me 
        D              C          G   
 Sometimes I stop and cry on the shoulder  
              Em         C           D 
 Cause every town I pass helps to remind me  
   
 Chorus
