    Verse 1
    I 
    was 
    just 
    fifteen 
    and 
    out 
    of 

    con
    trol 
    lost 
    to 
    James 
    Dean 
    and 
    rock 
    and 
    roll 

    I 
    knew 
    down 
    deep 
    in 
    my country 
    soul 

    that 
    I 
    had 
    to 
    get 
    away 

    Hollywood 
    was 
    a lady 
    in 
    red 
    who 

    danced 
    in my 
    dreams 
    as 
    I 
    tossed 
    in 
    bed 

    I 
    knew 
    I?d 
    wind 
    up 
    in 
    jail 
    or 

    dead 
    if 
    I 
    have 
    to stay 

    I 
    thought 
    hap
    piness 
    was 
    Lubbock 

    Texas 
    in 
    my 
    rearview 
    mir
    ror 

    My 
    mama 
    kept 
    calling 
    me 
    home 
    but 
    I 

    just 
    did 
    not 
    want 
    to 
    hear 
    her 

    And 
    the 
    vision 
    was 
    getting 

    clear
    er 
    in 
    my 
    dream 

    So 
    I 
    let 
    out 
    one 
    night 
    in 
    June 
    stoned 
    on 

    the 
    glow 
    of 
    the 
    Texas 
    moon 

    Humming 
    an 
    old 
    Buddy 
    Holly 
    tune 
    called 

    Peggy 
    Sue 
    (pretty, pretty 
    Peggy 
    Sue) 

    With 
    my 
    fa
    vorite 
    jeans 
    and 
    a 
    cheap 

    guitar 
    I ran 
    off 
    chasing 
    a 
    distant 
    star 

    If 
    Buddy 
    Holly 
    could 
    make 
    it that 

    far 
    then 
    I 
    figured 
    I 
    could 
    too 

    I 
    thought 
    hap
    piness 
    was 
    Lubbock 

    Texas 
    in 
    my 
    rearview 
    mir
    ror 

    My 
    mama 
    kept 
    calling 
    me 
    home 
    but 
    I 

    just 
    did 
    not 
    want 
    to 
    hear 
    her 

    And 
    the 
    vision 
    was 
    getting 

    clear
    er 
    in 
    my 
    dream 

    But 
    the Hollywood 
    moon 
    didn't 
    smile 

    the same 
    old 
    smile 
    that 
    I?d 
    grown 
    up 
    with 

    The 
    lady 
    in 
    red 
    just 
    wanted 
    my 
    last 
    dime 

    And 
    I cried 
    myself 
    to sleep 
    at 
    night 

    too 
    dumb 
    to 
    run 
    too 
    scared 
    to fight 

    And 
    too 
    proud 
    to 
    ad
    mit 

    it at 
    the time 

    So 
    I got 
    me some 
    gigs 
    on 
    Saturday 
    night 
    not 

    much 
    more 
    than 
    orches
    trated 
    fights 

    I?d come 
    home 
    drunk 
    and 
    I 
    tried 
    to write 

    but 
    the words 
    came 
    out 
    all wrong 

    Hell 
    bent 
    and 
    bound 
    for 
    a wasted 
    youth 
    too 

    much 
    gin 
    and 
    not 
    enough 
    vermouth 

    And 
    no 
    one 
    to teach 
    me to 
    seek 
    the truth 

    before 
    I 
    put 
    an 
    end 
    to this 
    song 

    I still 
    thought 
    hap
    piness 
    was 
    Lubbock 

    Texas 
    in 
    my rearview 
    mir
    ror 

    My 
    mama 
    kept 
    calling 
    me 
    home 
    but 
    I 
    just 
    could 
    not, 

    would 
    not 
    hear 
    her 

    And 
    the 
    vision 
    was 
    getting 
    clear

    er 
    in 
    my 
    dream 

    Well 
    I thank 
    God 
    each 
    and 
    every 
    day 
    for 

    giving 
    me 
    the 
    music 
    and 
    the words 
    to say 

    I?d 
    never 
    had 
    made 
    it 
    any 
    other 
    way 

    he 
    was 
    my 
    only 
    friend 

    Now 
    I 
    sleep 
    a 
    little 
    better 
    each 
    night 
    and 
    when 

    I 
    look 
    in 
    the mirror 
    in 
    the morning 
    light 

    The 
    man 
    I 
    see 
    was 
    both 
    wrong 
    and 

    right 
    he's 
    going 
    home 
    again 

    I 
    guessed 
    hap
    piness 
    was 
    Lubbock 

    Texas 
    in 
    my rearview 
    mirror 

    But 
    now 
    hap
    piness 
    was 
    Lubbock 
    Texas 

    growing 
    nearer 
    and 
    dearer 

    And 
    the vision 
    was 
    getting 

    clear
    er 
    in 
    my 
    dream 

    And 
    I think 
    I 
    finally 
    know 

    just 
    what 
    it 
    means 

    And 
    when 
    I 
    die 
    you 
    can 
    bury 
    me 
    in 
    Lub

    bock 
    Texas 
    in 
    my 
    jeans

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
