Memories of East Texas Michelle Shocked
M[G]emories of East Texas and [C]piney-green rolling [D]hills,
C[G]overed in the springtime with [C]golden daffo[D]dils,
Ro[C]wing on Sandy [D]Lake come April, [G]harvesting [G/F#]hay in [Em]June,
Si[C]tting by the road watching well fires burn by an old October [D7]moon.
Chorus
I[C] learned to drive on those East[D] Texas red clay [G]backroads,
And I [C]mean to tell you my [D]friend they were no [G]easy roads,
You had to [C]watch out for all the [D]curves [G]down by [G/F#]Kelsey [Em]Creek,
And [C]detour through the Lindsay's pasture when the water ran too [D]deep.
Memories of East Texas and Gilmer, county seat of Upshur,
Looking back and asking myself "What the hell did you let them break your spirit for?''
You know their lives ran in circles so small, they thought they'd seen it all,
And they couldn't make a place for a girl who'd seen the ocean.
Chorus
But those memories of East Texas, those piney-green rolling hills,
Covered in the springtime with those wild daffodils,
Sitting in those Piney woods, playing my guitar,
Thinking back on the roads I'd come, thinking I had not come that far.
