[Intro]
D G F# Bm F# Bm Em A
Woo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
[Verse 1]
D G
I know all about those big city women
F# Bm
I know what goes on in those back rooms at night
F# Bm
A handsome young man with his wallet in his hand
Em A
Can get by on a wink and a smile
D G
I can prey on the urban romantics
F# Bm
Weeping haiku over café au lait
F# Bm
I can load up the truck when things start to heatup
Esus A
And if the waitresses beg me to stay
[Chorus 1]
D G D
I’ll say Look for my taillights, East of the sunrise
G F#
You don’t understand, ma’am, I’m way too much man
Em A
for such a civilized life
D G F# Bm
Listen for bloodhounds, West of the sundown
G
Don’t get me wrong,
D
but theres things going on out there
Em A
you and I know nothing about
[Verse 2]
D G
Well, there’s way too much money in Dallas
F# Bm
I feel obliged to set some of it free
F# Bm
I might leave part of my heart down in Texas
Em A
But I’ll take a shitload of Texas with me
D G
Maybe I’ll marry a billionaire’s daughter
F# Bm
become an embarrassment out at the club
F# Bm
I’ll start in on the gin by eleven a.m.
Em A
And when my in-laws start getting fed up
[Chorus 2]
D G D
I’ll say Look for my taillights, East of the sunrise
G F#
I don’t give a damn, ma’am, I’m way too much man
Em A
for your brand of sanitized life
D G F# Bm
Listen for bloodhounds, West of the sundown
G
Don’t get me wrong,
D
but theres things going on out there
Em A
you and I know nothing about
[Verse 3]
D G
Well, I can knock over banks out in the Badlands
F# Bm
And start my own band of thieves on the run
F# Bm
Disappearing into the desert at night
Em A
Building campfires and polishing guns
D G
Living off biscuits and jerky
F# Bm
Whisky and twisted cigars
F# Bm
Falling in love with my hostage
Em A
And being glamorized by fools with guitars
[Chorus 3]
D G D
Singing, Look for my taillights, East of the sunrise
G F#
No thank you, ma’am, I got some awful big living
Em A
to cram into such a small life
D G F# Bm
Listen for bloodhounds, West of the sundown
G
Don’t get me wrong,
D
but theres things going on out there
Em A
you and I know nothing about
[Interlude]
D G F# Bm F# Bm Em A
Oh... Oh... Woo-oo-oo-oo
D G F# Bm F# Bm Em A
Hmm... Hmm... Woo-oo-oo-oo
[Verse 4]
D G
Well, if I ever do make it back home again
F# Bm
I probably won’t be alive
F# Bm
Tell my mother and father I missed them
Em A Asus
And kiss all my sisters and brothers good-bye
D G
Bury me out on the Trinity Plain
F# Bm
Where the clay is carnation red
F# Bm
Plant a Muscadine vine, Where my footstone should lie
Em A
And a halo of pines at my head
[Chorus 4]
D G D
And Look for my taillights, East of the sunrise
G F#
You never did understand, I was way too much man
Em A
for such a tiny little life
D G F# Bm
Look for a dust cloud, West of the sundown
G
Don’t get me wrong,
D
but theres things going on out there
Em A
you might want to find out about
