Maybe we'll make Texas by the morning
G F/G C/9 D
Light the bayou with our taillights in the night
Eight hundred miles to El Paso from the state line
F/9 C Am7 D7
And we never have the money for the flight
G F/G C/9 D
I'm in the back seat sleepy from the travel
G F/G C/9 D
Played our hearts out all night long in New Orleans
I'm dirty from the diesel fuel, drinking coffee black
G Am7 D7
When the first breath of Texas comes in clean
G C
And there's something about the southland in the springtime
G B7 Em C
Where the waters flow with confidence and reason
G G/B
Though I miss her when I'm gone, it won't ever be too long
Am7 G/B C D
Till I'm home again to spend my favorite season
Am7 G/B C D
When god made me born a yankee he was teasing
Em7 G/B C D
There's no place like home and none more pleasing than the southland
G C/G C F/C- C D C G-
in the springtime
In Georgia, nights are softer than a whisper
