West Texas Highway Lyle Lovett
Well I was a`[F7]driving down
West Texas highway
I [Bb7]seen a hitchhiker
With His [G7]thumb pointin my way
[F7]didn't look suspicious
[D]didn't look any too [G7]clean[C7]
So I, [F7]I put on my brakes
And I opened up the door
could [Bb7]tell he was a bum
By the [G7]boots that he wore
He said I'm [F7]going down to [D]Haskell
[G7]Got a woman back in [C7]Abil[F7]ene.[Bb7] [F7] [C7]
He told me [F7]son East Texas
Is where I come from
I [Bb7]been ridin' that Jacksonville Rodeo
And [G7]I got humdrum
I'm [F7]travelling around
A [D]whole lot of Texas I've [G7]seen[C7]
Yes and [F7]I'm, I'm mighty glad
You was,was pushin' down my way
In your [Bb7]fancy clothes
And this [G7]shiny Chevrolet
[F7]Said I'm going down to [D]Haskell
[G7]Got a woman back in [C7]Abil[F7]ene.[Bb7] [C7]
--- Dobro / Piano leads
You know [F7]he was grinning like a possum
And a mighty happy rascal
He [Bb7]waved good-bye
When I [G7]I let him out in Haskell
And [F7]that's about the last
Of that [D]road tramp
That I've ever [G7]seen[C7]
But you know that [F7]I'm still wishing
To this very day
That [Bb7]he had my clothes
And this [G7]shiny Chevrolet
And it was [F7]me going to [D]Haskell
With a [G7]woman back in [C7]Abi[F7]len[Bb7]e. [F7]
[F7]But you know that I'm still wishing
To this very day
[Bb7]he had my clothes
And this [G7]big Chevrolet
And it was [F7]me going to [D]Haskell
G7 C7 F7 Bb7 F7/E7-F7 (slide up)
with a woman back in Abilene.
