[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
I can't believe I ever woke up
G D
without her here before
A
all I know is that I can't do that right
G D
alone anymore
D
another late night has become
G D
a day I never hoped I'd see
G D
and I don't know what she's thinking
A
but it's surely not of me
[Verse 2]
D
she was alone the night I met her
G D
alone deep in her eyes
A
now she's heading for her hometown
G D
with the trucks on eighty five
G D
as clear shiny crystal
G
the hardest kind of blue
D
I'll take a pass on the smoke and the gas
A D
I'm bound to get there too
[Chorus]
D
oh my love I've got to find
G D
over backroad twenty nine
G D
Gastonia she came from
A
back there she's gone I pray
D
but if she don't want to be found
G D
in that little redneck town
G D
I'll be crying to her momma
A D
when the sun goes down today
[Bridge]
G D
Gastonia wants to forget her
A
Gastonia I never will
D
Carolina how I love
G D
your rolling waters by the sea
G D
but that inland town drags me down
A
and roves right over me
[Verse 3]
D
I followed behind her
G D
is she up there at all
A
Lord please help me make the border
G D
before I hit the wall
G D
and the flowers that I bought her
G
lay beside me getting dry
A
I'll be chasing her forever
G D
I'll never find out why
[Chorus]
D
oh my love I've got to find
G D
over backroad twenty nine
G D
Gastonia she came from
A
back there she's gone I pray
D
but if she don't want to be found
G D
in that little redneck town
G D
I'll be crying to her momma
A D
when the sun goes down today
G D
I'll be crying to her momma
A D
when the sun goes down today
