[Verse]
  G                                 C
I bet this road will take me out of here
G                         C
Take me far away from Amarillo
  G                 D
I bet this car will go real fast
    C
The wheels might even drive me past
    G               D              C   G
The places that you said I'd never go, oh

G   C   G   C

    G                                      C
The Texas sky is the biggest one I've ever seen
       G                                  C
But it still ain't big enough for you and me
G                   D
All the things that make you mad
C
All the baggage in your past
      G                     D               C
Don't leave much room for a girl like me to be
         G                D                 G
So, I'll fill her up with hope and worn out dreams

[Chorus]
         G
And I'll grab the wheel and I'll point it west
D/F#
Pack the good and leave the rest
     C
I'll drive until I find the missing piece
    G                                D/F#
You said I wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas

And an empty heart
    C
But I got everything I'll ever need
           G                D                G
I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings

G    C    G    C

G                            C
Mama said, I never should've done it
              G                        C
I should have ended us before we ever started
G           D
Daddy knew about my pride
      C
So he stood there and he smiled inside
    G           D             C
And I pretended that I didn't notice
         G                   D             G
A little tear that fell when I said, I was going

[Chorus]
         G
And I'll grab the wheel and I'll point it west
D/F#
Pack the good and leave the rest
     C
I'll drive until I find the missing piece
    G                                D/F#
You said I wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas

And an empty heart
    C
But I got everything I'll ever need
           G                D                G       G
I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings

[Bridge]
         D
And I've worried about life
            C
And if it's right and right in time
  D
I guess if you don't ever jump
             C                   D
You'll never know if you can fly

G        D        C       C

[Chorus]

    G                                D/F#
You said I wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas

And an empty heart
    C
But I got everything I'll ever need
           G                D                G
I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings

G        C        G       C
(repeat and fade or end on)
