G              Cadd9 
Well it was 65 degrees and wind all around 
G                                            Cadd9 
Bobby said there ain't nothing to do in this west Texas town 
D                                      Cadd9 
He drove down to the liquor store just like the night before 
D                                   Cadd9       G 
Another fifth of whisky and he'll windup on the floor  
 
Now on the other side of town on the wrong side of the tracks 
Sandy Parker sits alone in her run down little shack 
Well her new step dad had too much to drink tonight 
Turns on the radio just to drown out the fight 
 

        Em               D                C  
And she sings, I want to be just like the stars up on the big screen 
Em      C             D 
Running wild and free chasing my dreams 
Em           D            C 
Then I could fly away and leave this town behind 
Am                              D                   G 
Instead I'm stuck her, watching life slowly pass me by

 
On an 80 acre farm on the outskirts of town 
An old farmer wipes the sweat from his brow 
Well theses damned old crops don't pay like they used to 
But it's all he knows what else is there to do 
 
Chorus
