Texas On My Mind Tab

Intro:      4x

                                          
I woke up this morning with Texas on my mind
                                              
Thinkin bout my friends there, and a girl I left behind

The way she held me when we kissed
                   
The lovin that we'd done
                    
And how I left her waving goodbye
                   
Standin in a Texas sun

Chorus:
                            
I got a half a mind to call her
              
Half a mind to go
               
Jump a big jet liner
                           
And wing it on my way back home

                                                         
All the morning it was rainin, on the streets of Liverpool
                                                       
So I stayed in and played guitar, and sang "The Lovesick Blues"

My mind kept goin back in time
                    
To when we both had fun
                    
And how I left her waving to me
                   
Standin in a Texas sun

Chorus

Bridge:
                                    
In my dreams she's still in love with me
                              
But I'd have to travel home to see
                                              
If she's found another man to take the place of me
                                              ,,,
Guess I'll have to keep on dreaming sunny memorie------s

Wishin I was back there, doesn't help me much at all
                                               
When I wanna hold her, doesn't help me much to call
  
Stuck here in this seaport town
               
Longing for the one
        
That I left behind me there,
                    
Standing in a Texas sun
