Verse 1:
BB
Well my daddy said the day he met you
BB
We weren't meant to be
BB
Said, "That boy’s got a wild streak in him"
BB B7B7
That spelled trouble for me
BB
My foolish heart had love to burn
BB
You took it for a ride
BB
Down a long road of twists and turns
BB B7B7
Heartaches, hurt, and lies
Chorus:
B7B7 E MajorE
You put the T for tears in Texas

S for sad in St. Louis

Our reckless travels led us

To the state of Missouri

I cried clear 'cross Carolina
E MajorE
'Bout some boy in Tennessee

There’s no U in Oklahoma

And that's okay with me
