Tom: A

Intro: A

A
He left Houston, Texas, in somebody else's car
A
A little luck and a Chevrolet might take him pretty far
D                                                   A
Sometimes a man just gets a restless feeling in his veins
   E                           D                       A
He pulled onto the highway and slipped off his wedding ring

A
She was gonna meet him in a hotel out of town
A
She waited smoking cigarettes and throwing whiskey down
D                                                             A
She looked down at her watch then checked the clock up on the wall
        E                    D                  A
She was getting out of Texas even if she had to crawl

A                     D                         A
If you're looking for trouble then you found it son

She was looking for love but isn't everyone
                      D               A
Someday they'd always have a story to tell
                               D
They both got what they wanted in that Texas hotel

A
He wasn't in this for the long run he wasn't going anywhere
A
She was headed out to A  but he didn't really care
              D                                                A
'Cause like a bus down at the depot there'll be another comin' by
       E                          D
He was gonna have to tell her the truth
                     A
But it wouldn't be tonight

A                     D                         A
If you're looking for trouble then you found it son

She was looking for love but isn't everyone
                      D               A
Someday they'd always have a story to tell
                               D

A
Now that whiskey made her lonely, the whiskey made her mean
A
When they woke up the next day she was somewhere in between
       D                                             A
He was going back to Houston before his wife got too concerned
       E                                  D                  A
So she lit up one more cigarette and just watched that Chevy burn

A                     D                         A
If you're looking for trouble then you found it son

She was looking for love but isn't everyone
                      D               A
Someday they'd always have a story to tell
                               D
