It was freezing cold in Dallas when I made my get 
away, 
   C         Am                 F                 G    
            
I out ran a cold front, when I gave my truck the 
reigns 
 C              Am       F                  C          
            
Barrelin' down I-35 with one thought on my mind

far behind

Well hello there Austin, you look to be just fine 
G              C                G                     
C           
Pardon me San Marcos, but I'm a' tryin' to make some 
time 
         Am                            C           G   
           
There's a storm in my rear-view, and a city on my nose 
          C                    Am                      
   F   G           C  
There's a piece of mind in the straight-away, and 
there's comfort in the curves

I didn't pull off in Von Ormy, like I norm'lly do 
   C               Am                    F           G

I glanced back across my shoulder, like a seventh 
season buck 
C               Am                F       G           
C            
All I saw was a wall of clouds, I hopped back in my 
truck

   F   G           C

Now don't ya' leave that barn door open, not even just 
a crack 
     C              Am              F  G          C    
            
If I see a hint of daylight, you'll never get me back

Leave that city way far behind
