Tom: G

      D              C          G
I was singing at the ol' Broken Spoke
             Em        C            D
I could have swore she came walking in
           D          C           G
Forgot the words to a song that I wrote
        Em        C          D
Must be losing my mind once again

Her daddy is a southern Baptist preacher
I had to choose her or the bars where I sang
Now when I call I can't seem to reach her
I'm gonna find her if it's the last thing

               C     Em        D
So I'll drive all night long
       C    Em            D
Till I find where we went wrong
            C  Em      D
But there's no love in sight
           D   C          G
Just those lonely Lubbock lights

I was ready to give up the road
As I turned onto her street
But the silhouette there in her window
Was of someone who once looked like me
I'd placed a price on her heart
But someone else collected the bounty
Now this lost soul don't know where to start
I think I'm lost somewhere in Hill County

That west Texas wind grew colder
As I left her further behind me
Sometimes I stop and cry on the shoulder
Cause every town I pass helps to remind me.
