This is an adjustment I made to the posting already on cowpie by
robs74@msn.com.
I think Jason might change keys at the bridge, he just lost
me. Corrections or changes are welcome.

Intro: D G Em A (2x )
D
G
When I look south and see the storm clouds roll, on their way to old Mexico
Em A
I don't want to be alone
D
The rays of light through my Shiner Bock» bottle make
G
Em A
me wanna turn the key and put down the throttle and get lost down 35
D G
When I get tied down by the ties that bind seems like I'm never gonna find
the time
Em A
to do what I need.
D G
That's to find me a place where I can think, talk about love, laugh, and
drink.
Em A
And there's someone there who cares.
Chorus
G A
Cause no matter how big the storms
G A
I know I can find me a place that's warm.
A D G
The sun is shining somewhere in Texas;
Em A D G
Em A
I hope it's shining on her; Somewhere down in Texas.
D G
In a place that big a man could get lost never mind the time forget about
the cost.
Em A
There's more important things.
D G
Shes' somewhere smiling north of San Anton', I've got her number but I stare
at the phone
Em A
Cause I still want to believe.
Chorus
Bridge:
D G
To hell with horoscopes and empty dreams
D G
to hell with Valentino in his cut-off pair of jeans.
Em A
D G Em A
Cause I know I can make it there on a twelve pack and a prayer.
Chorus
