         G                    Am                 D                     G
I seen a man on the TV he was out in California, talkin' bout where we came from
                                  Am                        D                           G
He said the reason we're all here is purely accidental, the evidence all points to evo- lution
        Am                              D
Well, I took a drink of coffee, stepped out on my front porch
  Am                       D
I looked up at the sky and out at my old horse and I thought

[Chorus]
                      Am                D                                   G
He ain't never seen a sunset out west a cactus or a paintbrush bloom in the springtime
                      Am            D                                 G
He ain't never seen a coyote crying young colt take of running in the sunshine
           Am                               D
Well some- times we over think it, but I've thought a lot about it
        G               D/F#      Em
And the only thing that makes any sense is
       Am                    D                       G
If you don't believe in God, you ain't never been to Texas

       G                           Am                        D                             G
I wish all the non believers could cross that old red river, 'cause it would open up their eyes
                                   Am                  D                            G
When I wake up every morning and I look out at heaven, Lord it ain't hard to recog- nize
           Am                      D
If there's anybody out there still trying to figure out
    Am                                D
Ex- actly where we came from and what life is all about, I'd say

[Chorus]
                       Am                D                                   G
You ain't never seen a sunset out west a cactus or a paintbrush bloom in the springtime
                       Am            D                                 G
You ain't never seen a coyote crying young colt take of running in the sunshine
           Am                               D
Well some- times we over think it, but I've thought a lot about it
