By Drew Womack
G Cadd9 G/B D (twice)
[G]She was still in [Cadd9]Ontario w[G/B]hen I headed d[D]own Thunder [G]Bay[Cadd9] [G/B] [D]
[G]I stopped off for gas in [Cadd9]St. Paul and it [G/B]got me through [D]all of I[G]A[Cadd9] [G/B] [D]
[G]Yeah she really made me [Cadd9]mad this [G/B]time and I ha[D]d to get awa[G]y[Cadd9] [G/B] [D]
[G]So I was Texas bound j[Cadd9]ust like t[G/B]hat,[D] and Texas I'll s[G]tay.[Cadd9] [G/B] [D]
In a [Am]Kansas City [C]Bar off of [F]I-35
I stopped [Am]off for [C]directions to make [F]up for lost time
Said I was l[Am]ooking for the f[C]astest way to [F]Texas t[D]onight.
[G]A man on a stool [Cadd9]by himsel[G/B]f started givi[D]ng me advise[G].[Cadd9] [G/B] [D]
[G]He said I know th[Cadd9]e shortcu[G/B]ts, cause that[D] interstate [G]it me[Cadd9]ssed up [G/B]my lif[D]e.
It wa[Am]s San Antoni[C]o, it was t[F]he middle of the night
She k[Am]new I was al[C]l wrong, bu[F]t she didn't want to fight
So I [Am]jumped in my[C] car and dr[F]ove out of her s[D]ight
And the way I get back is, son I...
CHORUS
[G]Walk up, sit down[Cadd9], and buy[G/B] myself a doub[D]le round
The w[G]hole [Cadd9]time I'm there [G/B]thats when I cr[D]umble
And its w[Am]hiskey not the h[Cadd9]ighway that dr[Em]ives me to tears
And thats the f[Am]astest way to T[D]exas from h[G]ere[Cadd9]
The fa[G/B]stest way to Te[D]xas from he[G]re[Cadd9] [G/B] [D]
He went on to tell me all the things along the way that remind him of her
Thats why he won't go back the same way cause of how much it hurts
He said light conversation can lead anywhere
From football, to baseball, to how life just ain't fair
But in this part of this bar we don't like to go there
But if you really want to know, I just...
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Well its [Am]my w[Cadd9]ay
Or the [Am]highw[D]ay
Well he stumbled his way though his life, through the pain and regret
He said take a look at that old car outside, cause its all I have left
And let me say one last thing before you hit the road
And buy you a round, propose a toast
To the one man in this bar who knows who I hurt the most
I guess I've got a thing, cause I just...
CHORUS
She was still in Ontario when I headed up Thunder Bay...
