Loney Lubock Lights

 
                    D              C          G 
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 
Must be losing my mind once again 
 
Her daddy is a southern Baptist preacher 
I had to choose her or the bars where I sang 
Now when I call I can't seem to reach her 
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 
 
I was ready to give up the road 
As I turned onto her street 
But the silhouette there in her window 
Was of someone who once looked like me 
I'd placed a price on her heart 
But someone else collected the bounty 
Now this lost soul don't know where to start 
I think I'm lost somewhere in Hill County 
 
That west Texas wind grew colder 
As I left her further behind me 
Sometimes I stop and cry on the shoulder 
Cause every town I pass helps to remind me.
