He Rode All The Way To Texas

Tony Rice


Tom: D

D
He rode all the way to Texas
G                 D        A       
On an old freight train,
                              D
Didn't miss the girl he left behind 
D
He rode all the way to Texas
G             D    A
Didn't shed a tear, Letting you know
                        D
That's he's the moving kind

[Verse]
 D    
A light shines from my window
 G                       A     
Just can't sleep no more, Lord it hurts 
               D
So much to be alone
D
But the real men never do admit
 G                            A  
It's them that might be wrong, At least 
                                D 
That's what he told me in his song

[Chorus]
D
He rode all the way to Texas
G                 D        A       
On an old freight train,
                              D
Didn't miss the girl he left behind 
D
He rode all the way to Texas
G             D    A
Didn't shed a tear, Letting you know
                        D
That's he's the moving kind

[Verse]
D
The freedom that he's sings about
G                       A
Guess I'll never know
                                        D
Just can't shake the guilt or kill the pain
D
But he lets me ride when the lights turn low
G                     A
Get on board the radio and take a ride
                 D
To Texas on his train

[Chorus]
D
He rode all the way to Texas
G                 D        A       
On an old freight train,
                              D
Didn't miss the girl he left behind 
D
He rode all the way to Texas
G             D    A
Didn't shed a tear, Letting you know
                        D
That's he's the moving kind

[Outro]
A
He's letting you know that he's the moving 
D
kind
