Texas And Norma Jean Brooks & Dunn
Intro: D E F# A | 2x
It was a foggy mo[D]rnin[G]' south of San Jo[D]se
We were [D]sittin' in a [A]crowded [B]coffee shop
With [E]nothin' left to s[G]ay
My [D]cup grew cold and a [E]teardrop rolled
Down her [A]cheek and I brushed it [G]away
I reme[A]mber it all just like yesterday[D]
(Chorus)
And I [F#]see it [G]now, I feel it s[D]till
[G]It's a day I can't forg[A]et and never wil[D]l
And I hear her [G]voice on the winds of [F#]Abilene[F]
She [E]used to [F#]call me [G]Texas and I [A]called her Norma Jean[D]
Still see her wavin' through the radiator steam
She was stranded by the roadside on her way to bigger things
She threw her bags in back, said she liked my hat
Her name was Marilyn Justine
I fell into her California dream
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Yeah we [G]took a lotta detours on our [D]winding way out west
[G]Livin' for the [A]moment, for[B]gettin' all the rest[A]
[G]The life that she had waitin' and the [D]one I [A]left be[B]hind
And now I'm [E]back here tryin' to sort it out
One[A] fence post at a time
In that [D]coffee shop, the road just stopped
And we faced reality[G]
The place tha[A]t she was goin' had no place for me[D]
(Chorus)
Yeah I called her Norma Jean
