G                       C       G
Alone in a booth in the pioneer cafe
G                         D           G
strung out from the road, hello in my hands
G                          C           G
I sip the last drop from a cold cup of coffee
G                              D         G
try to sort out my feelings as good as i can
G                             C           G
two hours behind me there's a boy back in dallas
G                         D             G
my phone will be ringing, his afternoon call
G                            C                G
but he'll get no answer, the queen's left her palace
G                        D       G
she's alone in a cafe in wichita falls

C                        Bm
back out on the highway, towards oklahoma
C                        G         D
i'm driving, crying, and hatin' it all
G                     C          G
this old chevrolet is racing the sunset
G                      D       G
taking me further than wichita falls

[Instrumental]

A                         E          A
and all i can say is i've made up my mind
A                       D             A 
i just want to travel a long way from heartache

I guess that he thought i'd stay there forever
D                      A           E
living my life with my back to the wall
A                       D             A
maybe the waitress will send him that letter
A                      E       A
i left on the table in wichita falls
A                   D          A
i'm going somewhere other than texas
A                         E       A
a long way from dallas in wichita falls
