Wichita Falls
by Houston Marchman
Intro: G
Verse:
G
Oil field town in a blood red sky
C G
way out here that sun takes a long time to die
Em
just seventeen when the highway called
G D G
my mama said "boy don't send me no tears back to Wichita Falls"
G
Yeah broken white line led me away
C G
down a lo-o-o-ng lonesome interstate
G Em
my boots move fast but my mind move slow
G D G
wherever easy money went I was gonna go
Chorus:
C G
Now my poor mama cries for the trouble I'm in
D
but the law don't believe me it was self defense
G C G C
her heart breaks down against these prison walls
G D Em C
there's a few more tears tonight over Wichita Falls
G D G
there's a few more tears tonight over Wichita Falls
Verse:

I was raised up that where God lost his shoes

turned that west Texas dust into big city blues

that city kid pushed me just a little too far
G D G
reckon I pushed back just a little too hard

C G
Now my poor mama cries for the trouble I'm in

but the law don't believe me it was self defense
G C G C
her heart breaks down against these prison walls
G D G
there's a few more tears tonight over Wichita Falls
C G
Now my poor mama cries for the trouble I'm in
