Standard tuning with capo on first fret
Intro G,D,C, same progression throughout song
Ohio was a riverbank
A 10 speed layin' in the weeds
Cannonball off an old rope swing
Long, long summer days
Tennessee was a guitar
First big dream of mine
If I made it, yeah, that'd be just fine
I just wanted to play, I just wanted to play, but...
CHORUS
Em-D-C G D C
Texa-s was green eyes crying goodbye
Em
Was a long drive
D C Em D C
A heartache I'm still trying to get through
No chord G-D-C
Texas was you
Carolina was a black car
A big white number three
California was a yellow jeep
Cruisin' down Big Sur
Georgia was a summer job
And 'Bama was a spring break
I got memories all over the place
But only one still hurts, only one still hurts like
CHORUS
Texas was green eyes crying goodbye
Was a long drive
A heartache I'm still trying to get through
Texas was you
Texas was my whole life waving goodbye
Thought I'd die
A heartache I'm still trying to get through
Texas was you
It will always be you
