West Texas Heaven by Kimmie Rhodes (from the album of the
same name)
[C]I left west texas [Am]heaven it was the only[F] one I've ever
[C]known,
[C]I've been on the[Am] road down here [F]driving with my blinders
[C]on
[F]And all life was to [G]me is like a[Am] truck-stop where you
[F]want to stay
[F]I never really saw it[G] when you b[Am]uilt your dream right in
my [F]way
No [F]I just passed on thro[G]ugh like a lonel[C]y town
Playing in my head I heard this music like a radio,
In another town somebody turned on somewhere down the
road
And everywhere I turned I tuned in something that you had
to say,
Your signal never cleared I guess it matters that you're
so far away
And I just passed on through like a lonely town
Guitar interlude - F,G,Am,F F,G,Am,F F,G,C
I left west texas heaven oh I guess I'm never going back
that way,
Did your love get lost oh baby did your love just get
misplaced,
Everywhere I go oh the ghost of you just follows me
And everywhere I go I hear you whisper down my empty
streets
And everywhere I go looks like a lonely town
[F]Everywhere I [G]go looks like a lonely [C]town
[F]Everywhere I [G]go looks like a lonely [C]town
F, G, Am
