Chords
[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em My nasty Yankee mannerisms
Didn't jive with the local traditions
A How was I to know she had a jeaGlous Emhusband?
He was the GM of a Tractor Supply
Well acquainted with the guns and knives
A Sometimes I swear I have less sense than a bag of Ghammers
[Chorus]
Em I prayed for courage, I prayed for love
I prayed for guidance from the heavens above
I prayed to know divine protections
But now I'm prayGing for a Dquick death in TeEmxas
[Bridge]
Hey hey
Please forgive me, Mister Gibbons
[Verse 2]
Em I crawled my way into The Doom Saloon
In an attempt to cauterize my wounds
A I did a terrible job and they became powerGfully infeEmcted
I found myself atop a stolen roan
Quite convinced that I would never see home
A And all on account of my lack of common manGners
[Chorus]
Em I prayed for courage, I prayed for love
I prayed for guidance from the heavens above
I prayed to know divine protections
But now I'm prayGing for a Dquick death in TeEmxas
[Interlude]
The saloon doors stopped swinging on
The piano player stopped playing
In the shadows I could hear Archaic Spanish phrases
The preacher stood up from his table in his right hand he held a bible
And in his left, the business end of a Winchester rifle
[Chorus]
Em I prayed for courage, I prayed for love
I prayed for guidance from the heavens above
I prayed to know divine protections
But now I'm praying for a quick death in TeEmxas
[Chorus 2]

Galveston, El Paso, Nacogdoches, Abilene
[Chorus-Outro]
EmBeaumont, Amarillo, got a line on me
Galveston, El Paso, Nacogdoches, Abilene
Beaumont, Amarillo, got a line on me
Galveston, El Paso, Nacogdoches, Abilene
