Red Steagall - Under The X In Texas

      Under The X In Texas
Red Steagall


[Verse 1]
C                  A7   D7
I'm sitting with a map  laid out on my lap
            G7                               C
Now there's not too many places that I ain't been
                         A7    D7
But the one place I love best  is spread all over the west
        G7                                    C
And I'm trying to figure how to get back home again


[Chorus]
                           A7             D7
I wish I was sitting right under the X in Texas
G7                                        C
Right in the heart of where my heart must be
                         A7                     D7
But where I roam I never feel at home except in Texas
F              G7                          C
Under the X in Texas is the only place for me


[Verse 2]
                        A7
Now I don't know what I miss the most
    D7
The hills out west or the southern coast
   G7                            C
Or being where a man can see for miles and miles
                             A7
Those east Texas rivers with tall pine trees
       D7
Or the great state plains with prairie breeze
    G7                               C
But baby I'm lonesome to see a Texas smile


[Chorus]
                           A7             D7
I wish I was sitting right under the X in Texas
G7                                        C
Right in the heart of where my heart must be
                         A7                     D7
But where I roam I never feel at home except in Texas
F              G7                          C
Under the X in Texas is the only place for me


[Final Chorus]
                        A7
Now I ain’t got nothing against the rest
    D7
But why settle for less when you know what’s best
F              G7                          C
Under the X in Texas is the only place for me
