Verse 1:
G              C 
Time flies and love does too 
Em                 D                      G 
Now how'd I ever believe that dreams come true 
                 C 
With a girl like that? 
         Em              D 
I got it bad and she got gone 
       G                  C 
Now my guess is Texas and Oklahoma boys 
Em                D                G 
  Don't mean much more to her than toys 
             C                 Em 
And then she played me way too long 


 
Pre-Chorus
D           C 
  So, I ran south cross that red river 
           Em 
A thousand miles might help forget her 
         Am           G 
I need a remedy for a memory 
          C              D 
I need to get back on my feet 



         G          C        Em                    D 
I've got pockets of pesos, a $20 dollar bill in my bill fold 
G                       C               Em 
  Tell me what, tell me what's it gunna take? 
D              G          C              Em                           D 
  And I've got cigars and Lonestar?s and 2 tequila shots in every bar-ar 
    G             C                  Em 
But I can't, no I can't seem to get away. 
D         Am              D 
  Leaving her in Oklahoma didn't help ease the pain 
             F     C         G 
I guess I'm a long way from OK

Verse 2:
G           C 
I know that feelings change 
Em                     D                 G 
  But when it comes to her she takes the cake 
            C                    Em              D 
And eats it too, there's someone new every other day 
         G                    C             Em 
Yeah her green eyes disguise alotta things, hook 
          D               G 
line, and sucker they got me 


 
Pre-Chorus
               C            Em                D 
And they still do, I wish I knew how to swim away 
            C 
I'm runnin' low on my defenses 
           Em 
I'm hidin' out down here in Texas 
             Am 
I don't know where I'll go 
      G          C                 D 
Maybe Mexico, as long as there's a road 


 

         G          C        Em                    D
