I didn't have much money
A minorAm
I didn't have a car

I just had my dreams
G7G7
And an old guitar

Bummed a ride to Nashille
A minorAm
Tryin' to be a star

How was I to know
G7G7
I wouldn't get too far

But that's the way things go
A minorAm
That's the way things are

Singin' again in Texas

In a honky-tonk bar

Verse 2:
C majorC
I took my dreams to Nashville
A minorAm
Thought I'd make a start
FF
But the dreams unravelled
G7G7
And soon they fell apart
E minorEm
I played my songs on the corners
A minorAm
They never made the charts
FF
I met a girl from Knoxville
G7G7
But she broke my heart

FF
But that's the way things go
A minorAm
That's the way things are

Singin' again in Texas

In a honky-tonk bar

FF
Well, that's the way things go
A minorAm
That's the way things are
FF
Singin' again in Texas
