E MajorE F#F# BB
Verse 1:
BB
I'm from San Benito, Texas
E MajorE
Down a dirty dusty road
F#F#
There was sugarcane and cotton
BB
How I used to watch it grow
Then we moved up to Dallas
E MajorE
I remember I was young
F#F#
I learned about the dollar
BB
Looked down the barrel of a gun
Chorus:
E MajorE
If you ask me where I'm going
BB
I can't tell ya, 'cause I don't know
E MajorE
But in my mind I see the valley
F#F# BB
You should see the way it glows
Verse 2:
BB
My daddy didn't know me
E MajorE
My brother rolled the dice
F#F#
My mama kept on working
BB
And my sister paid a price
Darkness did surround me
E MajorE
Trouble everywhere I turned
F#F#
Then one day I started walking
BB
Everything I've got, I earned
Chorus:
E MajorE
If you ask me where I'm going
BB
I can't tell ya, 'cause I don't know
E MajorE
But in my mind I see the valley
F#F# BB
You should see the way it glows
Verse 3:
BB
Now you know my story
E MajorE
I bet you got one like it too
F#F#
May your curse become a blessing
BB
There ain't nothing else to do
