Well I had a buddy back in 81
       G
And we made ourselves a pact
G                      C
We were headin for the new pipeline
       D
And we were never coming backss
G                          C
We worked 80 hours making time and a half
       G
But La Grange was too damn hot
G                                 C
So we drove back home home at the end of that week
       D               G
And we spent it all on pot
G                               C

                G            D
I'll see you in Dallas but I won't have long to stay
                 G                 C

G                         C
Well I played ball every single fall
        G
I could run just like the wind
G                           C
I went to college like they asked me too
         D
But they didn't ask my friends
G                       C
Don't think I've seen a single classroom
      G
But I drank a lot of beer
G                        C
My buddies still love to listen to me
       D               G
When I talk about that year
G                               C
So I'll see you in Houston if I ever get out that way

Now I got myself a little band and we're pretty good I guess
G                          C
But I never learned how to wear my hair
      D
And I never learned how to dress
G                      C
So I'm leavin' for the last time honey
G
I'm never more to roam
G                            C
Gonna pack my bags a little heavy this time
      D                G
Gonna head my ass back home
                   G              C
