[Verse 1]
D# C# G#
I had a girl sweet as peaches, eyes as bright as the 'Bama beaches
D# C# G# D#
Kissed me goodbye, left me speechless, she don't love me no more

I can draw from a dry well, I head down the lonesome trail
D# C# G# D#
Lord I've figured what the hell, 'cause she don't love me no more
[Chorus 1]
C# D# C# D#
I can get down to Houston, I can get there by dawn
C# D# C# G# A#
There's plenty of stuff in that city that gets somethin' good goin' on
C# D# C# D#
And I wanna keep on comin', but she don't want me around
C# G# C# G# D#
'Cause she stole my heart, killed my pride, but she can't put me in the ground
C# G# D#
Naw it can't put me in the ground
[Verse 2]
