[Verse 1]
G# F# C#
I had a girl sweet as peaches, eyes as bright as the 'Bama beaches
G# F# C# G#
Kissed me goodbye, left me speechless, she don't love me no more
G# F# C#
I can draw from a dry well, I head down the lonesome trail
G# F# C# G#
Lord I've figured what the hell, 'cause she don't love me no more
[Chorus 1]
F# G# F# G#
I can get down to Houston, I can get there by dawn
F# G# F# C# D#
There's plenty of stuff in that city that gets somethin' good goin' on
F# G# F# G#
And I wanna keep on comin', but she don't want me around
F# C# F# C# G#
'Cause she stole my heart, killed my pride, but she can't put me in the ground
F# C# G#
Naw it can't put me in the ground
[Verse 2]
G# F# C#
Well my best friend since junior high, half as good lookin' and twice as wild
G# F# C# G#
He and my sweetheart started makin' out, now she don't love me no more
F# C# G#
Naw she don't love me no more
[Chorus 2]
