[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
EThey put up a sign for the very last time at B7Milly's Cafe
They B7loaded their stuff into the car
And they Edrove away
EMilly looked back for one last time
And when Ashe turned around, she was crying
EBilly just listened to the B7songs the radio Eplayed
[Verse 2]
EThey drove all the way from Fort Worth to B7Amarillo
When B7Milly woke up she had makeup
all Eover her pillow
EBilly had stopped at Easy Pawn
AAnd bought them up a couple of guns
ETomorrow, he said, was gonna B7be a brand new day
[Verse 3]
EBilly and Milly tore up B7the entire West
B7They started holding up liquor stores and then they tuErned to banks
And it Ewasn't very long, you know
ATheir picture was on the post office wall
EAnd it seemed that the whole B7world was looking for Ethem
[Chorus]
And the roads just get Arougher
Out in West ETexas
The cowboys are B7tougher
And the young girls are Erestless
And the winds take the Atowns
And there ain't any Esigns
But there's always a B7hill to climb
On the West Texas Eskyline
[Verse 4]
EMilly was raised by Christians in B7Aberdeen
Her B7father was a preacher in the biggest church you evEer did see
When Eword came down about Milly and Billy
AHe made a call up to New York City
EHe said for some boys to come B7down and set things Estraight
[Verse 5]
EHe met Milly in El B7Paso
UnderB7neath a tree in the parking lot of the Emotel
And the Enext day when Billy went in the bank
She Astarted the car and she drove away
When EBilly came out, B7he never had a Echance
[Chorus]
And the roads just get Arougher
Out in West ETexas
The cowboys are B7tougher
And the young girls are Erestless
And the winds take the Atowns
And there ain't any Esigns
But there's always a B7hill to climb
On the West Texas Eskyline
[Instrumental]
E B7 E A E B7 E
[Verse 6]
EPut up the sign one more time
At B7Milly's cafe
They B7loaded the stuff out of the car and into the dEoorway
EMilly looked back the one last time
AAnd when she turned around she was crying
EHer daddy just got in his B7car and he drove Eaway
[Chorus]
And the roads just get Arougher
Out in West ETexas
The cowboys are B7tougher
And the young girls are Erestless
And the winds take the Atowns
And there ain't any Esigns
But there's always a B7hill to climb
On the West Texas Eskyline
But there's always a B7hill to climb
On the West Texas Eskyline

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

They put up a sign for the very last time at Milly's Cafe

They loaded their stuff into the car

And they drove away

Milly looked back for one last time

And when she turned around, she was crying

E B7 E

Billy just listened to the songs the radio played

[Verse 2]

And it seemed that the whole world was looking for them

[Chorus]

And the roads just get rougher

Out in West Texas

The cowboys are tougher

And the young girls are restless

And the winds take the towns

And there ain't any signs

But there's always a hill to climb

On the West Texas skyline

[Verse 4]

Out in West Texas

The cowboys are tougher

And the young girls are restless

And the winds take the towns

And there ain't any signs

But there's always a hill to climb

On the West Texas skyline

But there's always a hill to climb

On the West Texas skyline
