Max Stalling - Runnin' Buddy guitar chord

Runnin' Buddy

Max Stalling

Em A D

It's fifty miles from Leakey down to Hondo

Em A D

There's no straight shot, the roads all twist and turn

Em A D

Another forty-five on into San Antone

Em A D

Seems a long way to go for just one girl

He pulls up Monday morning, puts his window down

Grins and tells me to breathe in deep

Her perfume still lingers from their last date

Says he late for work, leaves me standing in the street

He's taken to wearing starched shirts, and his boots stay shined

He keeps that old truck neat as a pin

Her picture gazes down from his visor

At an empty dash where a spit cup should've been

(chorus)

G A D

Hey runnin' buddy, what'll you say to a twelve pack

G A D

Hey runnin' buddy, whatcha say to settin' some lines

G A D Bm

Hey runnin' buddy, don't you remember the good times we had

G A D

Before you hooked up with that San Antonio girl.

I've known Jimmy Wayne since the second grade

When his mom and him moved in from Copperas Cove

We've always chased the girls down in Uvalde

Don't see why he needs him one in San Antone

On the first date, they went dancing at a VFW

A rough spot for such a cultured pearl

She matched him beer for beer, and she could polka

So he fell in love with that San Antonio girl

(repeat chorus)

Well we never go drink beer like we used to

Road hunt, shoot signs, or shoot the breeze

Every weekend he loads up and goes to see her

I guess that old gal's just way more fun than me

It's a long way from Leakey to San Antonio

No straight shot, the roads all twist and bend

Maybe come next Friday, I'll ride with him

See if she has got some San Antonio friends

(chorus2)

Hey runnin' buddy, what'll you say to a twelve pack

Hey runnin' buddy, whatcha say to runnin' some lines (on the girls from

San Antone)

Hey runnin' buddy, wait'll you see the good times we'll have

When we both hook up with San Antonio girls

(repeat chorus2)
