New Strings
Capo on the 2nd Fret
G   C   G   C
[Verse]
I Gbet this road will take me out of Chere
GTake me far away from AmarCillo
I Gbet this car will Dgo real fast
The Cwheels might even drive me past
The Gplaces that you Dsaid I'd never Cgo, Goh
G   C   G   C
The GTexas sky is the biggest one I've ever Cseen
But it Gstill ain't big enough for you and Cme
GAll the things that Dmake you mad
CAll the baggage in your past
Don't Gleave much room for a Dgirl like me to Cbe
So, I'll Gfill her up with Dhope and worn out Gdreams
[Chorus]
And I'll Ggrab the wheel and I'll point it west
D/F#Pack the good and leave the rest
I'll Cdrive until I find the missing piece
You Gsaid I wouldn't get too far on a D/F#tank of gas
And an empty heart
But CI got everything I'll ever need
I got this Gold guitar and a Dbrand new set of Gstrings
G    C    G    C
GMama said, I never should've Cdone it
I should have Gended us before we ever sCtarted
GDaddy knew aDbout my pride
So he Cstood there and he smiled inside
And GI pretended Dthat I didn't Cnotice
A little Gtear that fell when DI said, I was Ggoing
[Chorus]
And I'll Ggrab the wheel and I'll point it west
D/F#Pack the good and leave the rest
I'll Cdrive until I find the missing piece
You Gsaid I wouldn't get too far on a D/F#tank of gas
And an empty heart
But CI got everything I'll ever need
I got this Gold guitar and a Dbrand new set of GstringsG  
[Bridge]
And I've Dworried about life
And if it's Cright and right in time
I Dguess if you don't ever jump
You'll never Cknow if you can flyD  
G        D        C       C
[Chorus]
You Gsaid I wouldn't get too far on a D/F#tank of gas
And an empty heart
But CI got everything I'll ever need
I got this Gold guitar and a Dbrand new set of Gstrings
