[Verse 1]
D A
If I left Texas, would your lone star stated blue
C G
Bonnets even look my way?
D
And if I don't vote Republican
A C G
Can I still come home again around Christmas?..
[Pre-Chorus]
A
..Your big red arms held me
G
..For so long it would seem
A C G
..I'm in need of a blue state
[Chorus]
D
And you know I'll always call you home
A
But I don't know if I'll call home
C G
When you don't wanna call me anything
D A
And breakin' up with Texas didn't seem to be so reckless
C G
But when you don't own a gun, it's a lot less fun
D A C G
So goodbye Texas........
[Verse 2]
D A
If I left Texas, would that hot-headed sunset ever
C G
..Come rest her sweet head down right here?
D
And when I don't think it's selfish
A
To try to change yourself then
C G
Oh, Texas, we don't see eye to eye
[Pre-Chorus]
A
You got wide open spaces, I know
G
But what was green now won't grow
A C G
..I'm in need of a blue state
[Chorus]
D
And you know I'll always call you home
A
But I don't know if I'll call home
C G
When you don't wanna call me anything
D A
And breakin' up with Texas didn't seem to be so reckless
C G
But when you don't own a gun, it's a lot less fun
D A C G
So goodbye Texas........
[Bridge]
A G A
..I tell George and Tanya that I'm so sorry
G
But they hardly believe me again
A G A
..I should've said this when I was thirteen
G
But I swear that I said things back then
A G
..I'd bet you on your yellow roses
A C
You'll be the first to notice when I'm wrong
D
So goodbye Texas
[Outro]
A C G
Goodbye Texas, goodbye Texas, goodbye yellow roses
D
So goodbye Texas
A C G
Goodbye Texas, goodbye Texas, goodbye yellow roses
D
So goodbye Texas
A C G
Goodbye Texas, goodbye Texas, goodbye yellow roses
