I was born in Texas raised in Arkansas
I was born in Texas left home I heard the call
I come to California for honey, milk, and gold
Sometimes they would warn ya to do what you've been told G
But if you don't or if you do you'll find yourself somewhere and you won't have a clue
G
I met you in Palestine
The heart break high school beauty queen
Em
You were 21 I was 18
G
Hey you had my heart when I heard you sing
C
Never thought I'd see you again
G
Well here I am just by coincidence
Chorus:
C G
Texas, Arkansas
D Em
California, here we are
C G
How ever long, how ever far
D G
California, here we are
G
We came here to be unique
but when we look around we see
Em
Different versions of ourselves
G
Sippin' tea with someone else
C G
This promise land was broken and the words that had been spoken can't be taken back so we'll stay here awhile
Chorus
G
I reckon I will go back home eventually but I don't know
Em
How long it takes to get things done
G
You had a plan now you've got none
C
You wonder what you do back there
and wonder what you're doing here
C7 G
Sometimes you leave just so you can't go back
Chorus
C G
The mocking birds are squawking words in minor 3rds about our major flaws
C
Dog wood and the pecan trees are losing leaves conceding one dream
C(3rd fret, not bar chord, open 'g'string)
Soo
Chorus (x2)
