Memories Of East Texas Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

MGemories of East Texas and those piCne-green rolling hiDlls

CGovered in the springtime with goClden daffodiDls

RoCwing on Sandy laDke come April, haGrvesting hBmay in JEmune

SiCtting by the road watching wellfires burn by an oD7ld October moon

{

C:Chorus}

IC learned to drive on those EastD Texas red clay bGackroads

And I mCean to tell you my friDend they weren't no eGasy roads

You had to wCatch out for all the cDurves dGown by KeBmlsey CEmreek

And dCetour through the Lindsay's pasture when the waters ran too dDeep

Memories of East Texas and of Gilmer, county seat of Upshur

Looking back and asking myself ``What the hell did you let them break your spirit for?''

Their lives ran in circles so small, they thought they'd seen it all

And they couldn't make a place for a girl who'd seen the ocean

{

C:Chorus}

But those memories of East Texas and those pine-green rolling hills

Covered in the springtime with wild daffodils

Sitting in those Piney woods, playing my guitar

Thinking back on the roads I'd come, thinking I had not come that far

{

C:Chorus}
