Halfway to Houston
James Lann
Capo 1
Intro: A Bm G
A Bm G
She took all that she could stand
A Bm G
Tired of offering up her love like a sacrificial lamb
A Bm G
She packed up everything she had
G D A
In a two wheel suitcase and a worn out shoulder bag
Chorus:
D Bm
Bought a cup of caffeine and some gasoline
A D A
Before the sun came up
D Bm
Pointed her truck south and blew that town
A
In a big old cloud of dust
Bm A
The rubber she left when she popped that clutch
D G
Is all she'll leave behind
C G
While he's waking up and washing the taste of whiskey from his mouth
C G D
I bet she's halfway to Houston by now.
A Bm G
She wipes her teardrop away
A Bm G
She wishes that he would, but she knows he'll never change
A Bm G
She took all the love she ever felt for him
G D A
and threw it out the window with everything that might have been
Chorus:
D Bm
Bought a cup of caffeine and some gasoline
A D A
Before the sun came up
D Bm
Pointed her truck south and blew that town
A
In a big old cloud of dust
Bm A
The rubber she left when she popped that clutch
D G
Is all she'll leave behind
C G
While he's waking up and washing the taste of whiskey from his mouth
C G D
I bet she's halfway to Houston by now.
G A
First she tried to close her eyes
Bm A
and tried to deny the truth
G A Bm A
Cause she felt something die within her and then...
D Bm
Bought a cup of caffeine and some gasoline
A D A
Before the sun came up
D Bm
Pointed her truck south and blew that town
A
In a big old cloud of dust
Bm A
The rubber she left when she popped that clutch
D G
Is all she'll leave behind
C G
While he's waking up and washing the taste of whiskey from his mouth
C G D
I bet she's halfway to Houston by now.
C G
His cloudy mind don't realize
D G
She finally just walked out.
C G
I bet she's pulling in to Houston
D
By now.
