G
C
G
C
G
Well, I al ways thought
C
that I might live out in
G
California
Em
Where the weather's great and
D

the sun shines all the time
C
Probably live somewhere north of
San
Francisco
G
Em
Bm
G
In the redwoods where they make the wine I
C
was headed that way once when I stopped
off in
G
Austin
Em
D
G
To see an old friend long ago
C
One night at a party I met
G
her and I knew that
Em
She's the one who's
D
G
going to lead me home
Am
D
And I fell in love with a girl
Bm
Born and raised in
Em
Texas
Am
She stole my heart,
D
G
I lost my rambling ways
Am
D
And the years flew by so quickly
Bm
Raising up the family
Em
Am
D
Where you fall in love
G
is where you stay
C
G
And I always thought that I
C
might live up in
Colorado
G
Em
Where the snow stays on
D
G
the peaks all summer long
And I'd river raft the canyons,
C
G
I'd fly fish roarin' forks
Em
D
G
By a campfire, sing some cowboy songs
Am
D
But I fell in love with a girl,
Bm
born and raised in
Em
Texas
Am
She stole my heart and I
D
G
lost my rampant ways
Am
D
The years flew by so quickly,
Bm
Em
raising up the family
Am
C
D
Where you fall in love,
G
that's where you stay
Dm
And you know I'm not complaining,
C
our life has been so special
Am
And
E
Am
Texas has been everything I'd hoped
D
But every now and then,

I think what it might have been
C

If life had pulled me down a different road

D
G
Well, I'm still dreamin'
about the mountains,
C
G
About the rivers and the ocean,
Em
D
The way the waves pound down around
Big
G
Sur
Makes me wonder why I
C
G
don't already live there
Em
D
G
I ain't going nowhere without her
Am
D
Cause I fell in love with a girl
Bm
Born and raised in
Em
Texas
Am
D
G
She stole my heart, I lost my rent
Am
And they usually buy so quickly
D
Bm
Raising up the family
Em
Am
Where you fall in love
D
G
That's where you stay
Am
G
And I always thought that I might
C
Live out in
G
California
you
