I Miss West Texas

• D

          D               G      
There's a place out in the desert 
      D                         A     
Where oil flows and tumbleweeds roll 
D                     G     
Sunsets they last for hours 
        D          A            G         
And the moon has a dusty orange glow 
         D          A            D             
Yeah the moon has a dusty orange glow 
 
I moved away from those flatlands 
For a place so lovely and green 
Sometimes I feel all locked up inside 
In all of the hills and the trees 
Yeah in all of the hills and the trees 

D           G      
I miss West Texas 
       D                     A         
I miss being able to see for miles 
        D        A       G             
But I'm stuck up here in Ft. Worth 
      D            A         G                
And I haven't been west in a while 
     D            A         D              
No I haven't been west in a while 
 
I miss Friday night football 
Where the band plays "Hawaii Five-O" 
Sometimes I feel that I'm back in there 
And I feel a warm south wind blow 
Yes I feel that warm south wind blow 
 
And I'm sure that you wouldn't be just duly impressed 
If you hung out there any time 
The sky's covered in dust, the rigs now are rust 
But somehow it all makes me smile 
I said somehow it all makes me smile 
 
repeat chorus 
 
I'm sure you feel the same way about your hometown 
It's just something that you can't explain 
Maybe because it's familiar 
Like that smell in the air 'fore it rains 
Yeah that smell in the air 'fore it rains 
 
But the miles between me and my hometown 
Made me realize 
That it don't really matter where you're living 
Home is a state of mind 
I said home is a state of mind 
 
repeat chorus
