SHE CAME FROM DOWN THERE SOUTH OF LUBBOCK
F G
COTTON FIELDS AND TEXAS WIND
C EM
WE RAN OFF TO CORPUS CHRISTI
F G
NEVER DID GO BACK AGAIN
chorus
Em F
WE TOOK SOME MONEY AND MY GUITAR
Em G
STUCK OUT OUR THUMBS LOOKED BACK AND SMILED
C Em
DOWN ALONG THE COAST OF TEXAS
F G C
THINGS WENT GOOD THERE FOR A WHILE
WE SPENT A MONTH ON PADRE ISLAND
DRIFTED UP TO SAN JOSE
WORKED AWHILE IN MATAGORDA
HUNG AROUND GALVESTON BAY
chorus
WE'D TAKE OUR MONEY AND MY GUITAR
LAUGH AND SING AWAY THE MILES
DOWN ALONG THE COAST OF TEXAS
THINGS WENT GOOD THERE FOR AWHILE
SHE STARTED PLAYING MY OLD GUITAR
SINGING SONGS IN SOME CAFƒ
GOT FORTY DOLLARS IN HER TIP JAR
I AIN'T SEEN HER SINCE THAT DAY
chorus
SHE TOOK THE MONEY AND MY GUITAR
STUCK OUT HER THUMB LOOKED BACK AND SMILED
DOWN ALONG THE COAST OF TEXAS
THINGS WENT GOOD THERE FOR AWHILE
I DON'T MIND ABOUT THE GUITAR
SHE PLAYED IT BETTER ANYWAY
AND I UNDERSTAND ABOUT HER LEAVING
IT'S THEM OLD SONGS THAT PULLED HER AWAY
chorus
SHE TOOK THE MONEY AND MY GUITAR
BUT ALL I'M MISSING IS HER SMILE
DOWN ALONG THE COAST OF TEXAS
THINGS WENT GOOD THERE FOR AWHILE
