VERSE 1
********
           A
Warm winds blowing

VERSE 2
********
A
   Been thinking 'bout it lately
 
Been watching some TV
     G
Been looking all around me
 
At what has come to be
     Dmaj7
Been talking to my neighbor
 
And he agrees with me
 
F     G              A
      It's all gone crazy

CHORUS
*******
         A
Well my wife returns from taking
 
My little girl to school
          G
She's got beads of perspiration
 
As she tries to keep her cool
              Dmaj7
She says that mess it don't get no better
 
There's gonna come a day
     F
Someone's gonna get killed out there
      G                   A
And I turn to her and say Texas
 
She says what?
       G
I said Texas
 
She says what?
            Dmaj7
They've got big long road out there
 
F G
