(Am) I'm still in Texas today,
I'm almost ready to (E) go.
It's over, what can I say?
I should be going, I (Am) know.
They wait for me to come back,
They wait for me to (E) return,
And, though it's crazy and cold,
I must get back to my (F) world... (G)

(C) The sunset (Am) burns "Lucy (Dm) in the (G) sky".
(C) Why don't (Am) you pass (Dm) me the (G) wine?
(C) The desert (Am) stars, oh we get (Dm) along so (G) fine!
(F)...(G) Texas and (Am) I!

In Memphis I'm gonna get drunk,
Let music dance with my soul,
Musicians, hookers and bums
Will bleed me out of my dough...
Don't wait for me to come back,
Don't wait for me to return,
I'll disappoint you, my friends:
Tonight I've got other plans!

I watch them dance to the blues, so why not?
Why don't I take another shot?
The city lights, oh we get along so fine!
Whiskey and I!
