Lee Roy Parnell - South By Southwest (w/ Delbert Mcclinton) Chords

South By Southwest (with Delbert McClinton)


INTRO: A

A
I left Texas with good intentions
A
Gettin' back home's been a bone of contention
A
It sounded like a good idea at the time
A
But I've run out of reasons and I'm all out of rhyme
     E
I've got to get back to what I like best
N/C
I'm headed south by southwest


Well the money and music work both ways
I'll get it figured out one of these days
When a country boy sings the lonesome blues
The country row mob gets a little confused
I've got to get back to what I know best
South by southwest


BRIDGE:
             D
You know I'm movin' in the right direction
         A
When the sunset's drivin' me down
  D
I drive all night, all next day
        E
Just to get to that little hill country town
     A
I've been up north, been back east
                     D
And dang near all the rest
        A
You hit Oklahoma City and you hang a hard left
N/C
South by southwest
N/C
South by southwest


SOLO: D  A  E  A  D  A  E  A


Well if you want Mexican food, you need you some Mexicans
If you want barbeque you got to go to East Texas
Mama's cream gravy and chicken fried steak
Only taste right in the Lonestar State
A hungry man ain't never been so blessed
South by southwest

  E
A poor southern boy can't never settle for less
N/C
South by southwest
