Howlin' at midnight, winter creepin' in
Feel like I've gone and lost my best friend
F C
My best friend, lost my best friend
G F C
This car's headed down the wrong track again

I ain't got nobody, I'm nobody's girl
Gonna get in my Mercury and drive around the world
F C
Around the world, all around the world
G F C
When I reach that mountain top I'll stand with flags unfurled
C
She's up in New York City tryin' to make it big
Wrote me a letter yesterday sayin' I ain't got no gigs
F G
Ain't got no gigs, I ain't got no gigs
G F C
If you wanna send me somethin', make it a two dollar rig

She's up in New York City tryin' to be a star
Told me you're wastin' your time where you are
F C
Where you are, where you are
G F C
Gotta get yourself out of all those Texas bars

Howlin' at midnight, winter creepin' in
Feel like I've gone and lost my best friend

My best friend, lost my best friend
G F C
This car's headed down the wrong track again
G F C
This car's headed down the wrong track again
