Version 1[Chorus] D Bm Lately I’ve been thinking I could leave this town F#m A Cut back on my drinking, stop this running round D Bm Playing songs 'til after midnight, staying up 'til dawn F#m A There’s something in the dust and wind that keeps me hanging on G A D G And I never thought I’d live to see the day I’d say goodbye Bm A D I ain’t crying, that’s west Texas in my eye [Verse] D Bm I’ll be your blue eyed bandit if you’ll be my renegade F#m A I count a thousand tumbleweeds roll by me everyday D Bm I’d like to grow a rose and stow it in that desert sage F#m A Like a message in a bottle floating down the open plains G A D G Where the Llano Estacado rises up to meet the sky Bm A D I ain’t crying that’s west Texas in my eye [Verse] D Bm I’ve seen the thunderheads descend and rip into the ground F#m A The twisted hand of heaven spreading terror all around D Bm Sending farmers into deeper debt and ranchers to the grave F#m A Where towers mark the end of time with slowly spinning blades G A D G 'Til the water table falls below the reach of humankind Bm A D I ain’t crying that’s west Texas in my eye [Interlude] Bm A D Bm A D Bm A D G Bm A D [Chorus] D Bm Lately I’ve been thinking I could leave this town F#m A Cut back on my drinking and stop this running round D Bm Playing songs til after midnight and staying up until dawn F#m A But there’s something in the dust and wind that keeps me hanging on G A D G And I never thought I’d live to see the day I said goodbye Bm A G I ain’t crying that’s west Texas in my eye Bm A D I ain’t crying that’s west Texas in my eye [Outro] G Bm A D
