It was a foggy mornin' south of San Jose
D A B
We were sittin' in a crowded coffee shop
E G
With nothin' left to say
D E
My cup grew cold and a teardrop rolled
A G
Down her cheek and I brushed it away
A D
I remember it all just like yesterday
(Chorus)
F# G D
And I see it now, I feel it still
G A D
It's a day I can't forget and never will
G F# F
And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
E F# G A D
She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean
Still see her wavin' through the radiator steam
G D
Yeah we took a lotta detours on our winding way out west
G A B A
Livin' for the moment, forgettin' all the rest
G D A B
The life that she had waitin' and the one I left behind
E
And now I'm back here tryin' to sort it out
A
One fence post at a time
D
In that coffee shop, the road just stopped
G
And we faced reality
A D
The place that she was goin' had no place for me
(Chorus)
