G

Oil field town in a blood red sky

C G

way out here that sun takes a long time to die

G Em

just seventeen when the highway called

G D G

my mama said "boy don't send me no tears back to Wichita Falls"

G

Yeah, broken white line led me away

C G

down a long lonesome interstate

G Em

my boots move fast but my mind move slow

G D G

wherever easy money went I was gonna go

Chorus:

C G

Now my poor mama cries for the trouble I'm in

G D

but the law don't believe me it was self defense

Em C G C

her heart breaks down against these prison walls

G D Em C

there's a few more tears tonight over Wichita Falls

G D G

there's a few more tears tonight over Wichita Falls

G

I was raised up that that where God lost his shoes

C G

turned that west Texas dust into big city blues

G Em

that city kid pushed me just a little too far

G D G

reckon I pushed back just a little too hard

Chorus:

C G

Now my poor mama cries for the trouble I'm in

D

but the law don't believe me it was self defense

Em C G C

her heart breaks down against these prison walls

G D G

there's a few more tears tonight over Wichita Falls

C G

Yeah, my poor mama cries for the trouble I'm in

D

but the law don't believe me mama hell it was self defense

Em C G C

my life sure don't mean much inside these prison walls

G D Em C

'cept a few more tears tonight over Wichita Falls

G D G

There's a few more tears tonight over Wichita Falls
