♫ Intro:

D




♫ Verse 1:
D
Cactus and tumbleweeds
D
Creosote on the breeze
D
Dirt roads running along the Rio Grande
D

Just a West Texas map dot
D
With a flat mesa backdrop
D                                                 A
Whole lotta nothing, and then you drive right past
           Bm        G
It may not look like much
         A Bm       G
But hey
I tell you what


♫ Chorus:
G
It taught me how to work hard
G
How to love with all my heart
   D
My roots run deep in this dry desert ground
     G
It’s where I learned to pray
G
And never be ashamed of
    Bm                          A
The people who raised me and it makes me proud
Em                         G
No
I couldn’t see it before
         Em       D       G
But this place is so much more
N.C.           D
Than just a bordertown


♫ Verse 2:
D
Couldn’t wait to get gone
D
To the big world way beyond
D
Those Circle K Saturdays and Friday night lights
D
But this place wrote my story
D
It’s still writing it for me
                                     A
And it’s gonna stay with me, for the rest of my life


♫ Chorus:
          G
It taught me how to work hard

How to love with all my heart

My roots run deep in this dry desert ground

It’s where I learned to pray
G
And never be ashamed of

The people who raised me and it makes me proud

No
I couldn’t see it before

But this place is so much more

Than just a bordertown
