C
Howlin' at midnight, winter creepin' in

Feel like I've gone and lost my best friend
        F               C
My best friend, lost my best friend
     G            F                    C
This car's headed down the wrong track again


C
I ain't got nobody, I'm nobody's girl

Gonna get in my Mercury and drive around the world
           F                     C
Around the world, all around the world
G                              F                        C       
When I reach that mountain top I'll stand with flags unfurled


C
She's up in New York City tryin' to make it big

Wrote me a letter yesterday sayin' I ain't got no gigs
             F                    G
Ain't got no gigs, I ain't got no gigs
G                               F                    C
If you wanna send me somethin', make it a two dollar rig


GUITAR SOLO


C
She's up in New York City tryin' to be a star

Told me you're wastin' your time where you are
          F              C
Where you are, where you are
G                         F                C
Gotta get yourself out of all those Texas bars


C
Howlin' at midnight, winter creepin' in

Feel like I've gone and lost my best friend
        F                C    
My best friend, lost my best friend
G                 F                     C
This car's headed down the wrong track again
G                 F                    C
This car's headed down the wrong track again
