[A] Been thinking 'bout it lately

[G] It's all gone [A]crazy
---------------------------
CHORUS

Well my [A]wife returns from taking
My little girl to school
She's got [A]beads of perspiration
As she tries to keep her cool
She says [D]that mess it don't get no better
There's gonna come a day
Someo[F]ne's gonna get killed out there
And I [G]turn to her and say [A]Texas
She says what?
I said [Em]Texas
She says [A]what?
They've got [D]big long road out there
[F] [G]
