	        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 
 
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
