Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

I bet this road will take me out of here

Take me far away from Amarillo

I bet this car will go real fast

The wheels might even drive me past

The places that you said I'd never go, oh

[same as verse]

The Texas sky is the biggest one I've ever seen

But it still ain't big enough for you and me

All the things that make you mad

All the baggage in your past

Don't leave much room for a girl like me to be

So, I'll fill her up with hope and worn out dreams

Chorus

I'll grab the wheel and I'll point it west

Pack the good and leave the rest

Drive until I find the missing piece

You said I wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas

And an empty heart

But I got everything I'll ever need

I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings

Mama said, I never should've done it

I should have ended us before we ever started

Daddy knew about my pride so he stood there

And he smiled inside and I pretended that I

Didn't notice a little tear that fell when I said, I was going

Chorus

Bridge

I've worried about life and

If it's right and right in time

I guess if you don't ever jump

You'll never know if you can fly

Chorus
