[Gm7]Me and my friends [Gm6]went to Dixieland,

[D7b9]And a cooler full of [Gm7]beer[D7#9]

[Gm7]It was spring time in the [Gm6]mountains
[Gm7]When we headed [Gm6]out of [Ebmaj7]town

[D7b9]And the sun was [Gm7]beatin' down[D7#9]

[Gm7]We were rollin' down the [Gm6]highway
[Gm7]Just havin' a [Gm6]little [Ebmaj7]fun

[D7b9]Underneath that Texas[Gm7] sun[D7#9]
Verse
[Gm7]So I pulled into a liquor [Gm6]store
[Gm7]And that's where the [Gm6]trouble all began[Ebmaj7]

[Gm7]I tried to talk to the [Gm6]girl inside
[Gm7]I even [Gm6]offered her some [Ebmaj7]cash

[Gm7]And the next thing I knew [Gm6]when I walked outside
[Gm7]There were [Gm6]police all [Ebmaj7]around

Verse
[Gm7]We were sittin' on the [Gm6]steps of the liquor store
[Gm7]Just tryin' [Gm6]not to look too [Ebmaj7]scared

[D7b9]Sometimes life [Gm7]just isn't fair[D7#9]
Verse
[Gm7]Well, they opened up [Gm6]that cabinet
[Gm7]And they found [Gm6]our little [Ebmaj7]stash

[D7b9]Minus eighty bucks[Gm7] in cash[D7#9]

[Cm7]Get me out of this [D7]smalltime Texas town

[Cm7]Get me out of this [D7]smalltime Texas town
[G7]I'll be runnin' as soon as my feet hit[G#dim] the ground
