Karaoke Track: Texas In My Rear View Mirror by Mac Davis (Chart Buster) - Karaoke Nerds

IN THE STYLE OF
MAC DAVIS

KEY OF (DJ TIME 407

4 BAR INTRO

I WAS FIFTEEN
AND OUTTA CONTROL
LOST T0 JAMES DEAN

AND ROCK 'N' ROLL

HOLLYWOOD WAS
A LADY IN RED
WHO DANCED
IN MY DREAMS

AS I TOSSED IN BED

I KNEW I'D ININD UP
IN JAIL 0R DEAD
IF I HAD TO STAY
I THOUGHT HAPPINESS
WAS LUBBOCK TEXAS
IN MY REAR VIEW
MIRROR

MY MAMA KEPT CALLIN'
ME HOME BUT I JUST
DID NOT WANNA
HEAR HER
AND THE VISION
WAS GETI'IM CLEARER
IN MY DREAMS

SO I LIT OUT
ONE NIGHT IN JUNE
STONED ON THE GLOW
OF THE TEXAS MOON
HUMMIN' AN OLD
BUDDY HOLLY TUNE
CALLED PEGGY SUE

IF BUDDY HOLLY
COULD MAKE IT THAT FAR
THEN
I FIGURED I COULD T00
I THOUGHT HAPPINESS

WAS LUBBOCK TEXAS
IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR

BUT THE HOLLYWOOD
MOON
DIDN'T SMILE
THE SAME OL' SMILE
THAT I'D GROWN UP
WITH

AND I CRIED MYSELF
T0 SLEEP AT NIGHT
T00 DUMB TO RUN

T00 SCARED TO FIGHT

AND T00 PROUD
TO ADMIT IT
AT THE TIME

SO I GOT ME SOME GIGS
ON SATURDAY NIGHTS
NOT MUCH MORE
THAN ORCHESTRATED
FIGHTS

MY MAMA
KEPT CALLIN' ME HOME
BUT I JUST
COULD NOT WOULD NOT
HEAR HER

WELL I THANK GOD
EACH AND EVERY DAY
FOR GIVIM ME
THE MUSIC
AND THE WORDS TO SAY

AND NOWI SLEEP
A LITTLE BETTER AT NIGHT
AND WHEN I LOOK
IN THE MIRROR
IN THE MORNIM LIGHT

I GUESS HAPPINESS
WAS LUBBOCK TEXAS
IN MY REAR VIEW
MIRROR

BUT NOW HAPPINESS
IS LUBBOCK TEXAS
GROWN NEARER
AND DEARER
AND THE VISION
WAS GETI'IM CLEARER
IN MY DREAMS

AND I THINK
I FINALLY KNOW JUST
INHAT IT MEANS
AND INHEN I DIE
YOU CAN BURY ME
IN LUBBOCK TEXAS
IN MY JEANS
