[Verse 1]
B
Well my daddy said the day he met you
B
We weren't meant to be
B
Said, "That boy’s got a wild streak in him"
B                        B7
That spelled trouble for me
B
My foolish heart had love to burn
B
You took it for a ride
B
Down a long road of twists and turns
B                      B7
Heartaches, hurt, and lies


[Chorus]
B7          E
You put the T for tears in Texas
E
S for sad in St. Louis
      B
Our reckless travels led us
B                B7
To the state of Missouri
B        E
I cried clear 'cross Carolina
E
'Bout some boy in Tennessee
E          F#
There’s no U in Oklahoma
F#                   B
And that's okay with me

[Verse 2]
C
We tried K.C., Fort Worth, Reno
C
Cheyenne, Timbuktu
C
Somewhere down 'round Tupelo
C                      C7
My daddy's words rang true
C
I called it quits in T-Town
C
I finally had my say
C
Adiós, see you around
C                     C7
I'm gone, you go your way


[Chorus]
C7          F
You put the T for tears in Texas
F
S for sad in St. Louis
     C
Our reckless travels led us
C                      C7
To the state of Missouri
C         F
I cried clear 'cross Carolina
F
'Bout some boy in Tennessee
F          G
There's no U in Oklahoma
F                    C
And that’s okay with me
