Lyrics
LOST IN TEXAS
words & music by TJ Howard & Paul Wilson

Verse 1)
Em C
I hopped a freight in Austin, headin' toward Louisianan,
D Em
Turned south in Houston, tryin' to make the Rio Grande.
Em C
Askin' at every little town, if you'd been through.
D Em
I'm lost in Texas... tryin' to find you.
Verse2)
You left late one night when we were down in San Antone,
I was in the county jail for fightin' with big Joe,
He said you were no good and someday I'd realize...
But before he could finish I hit him right between the eyes.
Chorus)
C G
I hitched across the dessert...I walked a hundred miles.
D Em
After all you put me through I still think you're worth while
C G
Searchin' every rodeo and honky tonk saloon
D Em
I'm lost in Texas...tryin' to find you
Verse 3)
Made it down to Corpus Christi, by the Gulf of Mexico.
Drinkin' shots of tequila, a hurricane's bout to blow.
A sexy senorita said she'd get you off my mind,
I woke in a cheap hotel with just a dollar and a dime.
Chorus)
I hitched across the dessert...I walked a hundred miles,
After all you put me through I still think you're worth while.
Searchin' every rodeo and honky tonk saloon.
I'm lost in Texas...tryin' to find you.
Bridge
Am Em
I'm thinkin' you just don't wanna be found.
F G
And your tired of all the trouble, there is when I am around.
Am Em
Honey please forgive the hell I put you through,
f G Am
I'm lost in Texas... without you.
Chorus)
I hitched across the dessert...I walked a hundred miles.
Sweetheart I love you let me make it worth your while.
Searchin' every rodeo and honky tonk saloon,
I'm lost in Texas...tryin' to find you.

C D Em
I'm lost in Texas... tryin' to find you.

Lost in Texas... without you.
