Time: 4/4

Intro:
D    G    F#    Bm   F#   Bm   Em   A
Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo

Verse 1:
       D                        G
I know all about those big city women
            F#                             Bm
I know what goes on in those back rooms at night
  F#                         Bm
A handsome young man with his wallet in his hand
        Em                 A
Can get by on a wink and a smile
      D                    G
I can prey on the urban romantics
        F#                 Bm
Weeping haiku over café au lait
      F#                            Bm
I can load up the truck when things start to heatup
           Esus                 A
And if the waitresses beg me to stay

Chorus 1:
                     D          G             D
I’ll say Look for my taillights,  East of the sunrise
G                                  F#
  You don’t understand, ma’am, I’m way too much man
           Em             A
for such a civilized life
           D           G                F#     Bm
Listen for bloodhounds,   West of the sundown
             G
Don’t get me wrong,
                        D
but theres things going on out there
               Em            A
you and I know nothing about

Verse 2:
              D                     G
Well, there’s way too much money in Dallas
         F#                      Bm
I feel obliged to set some of it free
              F#                       Bm
I might leave part of my heart down in Texas
                Em                     A
But I’ll take a shitload of Texas with me
           D                     G
Maybe I’ll marry a billionaire’s daughter
            F#                     Bm
become an embarrassment out at the club
           F#               Bm
I’ll start in on the gin by eleven a.m.
            Em                        A
And when my in-laws start getting fed up

Chorus 2:
                     D          G             D
I’ll say Look for my taillights,  East of the sunrise
G                                  F#
  I don’t give a damn, ma’am,  I’m way too much man
             Em                  A
for your brand of sanitized life
           D           G                F#     Bm
Listen for bloodhounds,   West of the sundown
             G
Don’t get me wrong,
                        D
but theres things going on out there
               Em            A
you and I know nothing about

Verse 3:
            D                           G
Well, I can knock over banks out in the Badlands
             F#                         Bm
And start my own band of thieves on the run
F#                                  Bm
Disappearing into the desert at night
         Em                      A
Building campfires and polishing guns
D                            G
Living off biscuits and jerky
F#                        Bm
Whisky and twisted cigars
F#                      Bm
Falling in love with my hostage
          Em                           A
And being glamorized by fools with guitars

Chorus 3:
                     D          G             D
Singing, Look for my taillights,  East of the sunrise
G                                  F#
  No thank you, ma’am,  I got some awful big living
             Em                A
to cram into such a small life
                  D    G                    F#   Bm
Listen for bloodhounds,   West of the sundown
             G
Don’t get me wrong,
                        D
but theres things going on out there
               Em            A
you and I know nothing about

Interlude:
D   G   F#   Bm   F#   Bm   Em    A
Oh...   Oh...       Woo-oo-oo-oo
D   G   F#   Bm   F#   Bm   Em    A
Hmm...  Hmm...      Woo-oo-oo-oo

Verse 4:
           D                           G
Well, if I ever do make it back home again
F#                       Bm
 I probably won’t be alive
        F#                  Bm
Tell my mother and father I missed them
                Em                        A    Asus
And kiss all my sisters and brothers good-bye
D                     G
 Bury me out on the Trinity Plain
          F#                   Bm
Where the clay is carnation red
        F#                       Bm
Plant a Muscadine vine, Where my footstone should lie
      Em                  A
And a halo of pines at my head

Chorus 4:
                D          G             D
And Look for my taillights,  East of the sunrise
G                                F#
 You never did understand, I was way too much man
    Em                     A
for such a tiny little life
           D           G              F#      Bm
Look for a dust cloud,    West of the sundown
             G
Don’t get me wrong,
                        D
but theres things going on out there
                  Em            A
