West Texas Highway Lyle Lovett
(Verse 1)
[(B7)]I was a d[E7]riving down a West Texas highway
[A7] I seen a hitchhiker with his [Edim7]thumb pointinâ?? my way
[E7] He didn't look suspicious[C#7] he didn't look any too [F#6]clean[B7]
[E7] So I I put on my brakes and I I opened up the door
[A7] I could tell he was a bum by the [Edim]boots that he wore
He said I'm [E7]going down to [C#7]Haskell got a [F#6]woman back in [B7]Abil[E7]ene[A7] [E7] [B7]

He told me [E7]son East Texas is where I come from

(Verse 3)
You know he [E7]was was grinning like a possum a mighty happy rascal
[A7] He waved good bye when I I [Edim7]let him out in Haskell
