          B (D)                      A (Cadd9)     E A E A (G Cadd9 G Cadd9)
There's a lot of country songs about Texas or so I heard 

      B (D)      A (Cadd9)                E A E A (G Cadd9 G Cadd9)
Steve Earle, Guy Clark, I memorized every word

     A (Cadd9)                                           E A E A (G Cadd9 G Cadd9)
So I moved out there thinkin my life would be a country song 

    B  (D)                A (Cadd9)           E A E A (G Cadd9 G Cadd9)
And much to my surprise I wasn't too far from wrong 

Got my butt kicked in a bar outside of Abilene 

Got nailed down in South Padre down by the ???

And I wasn't strange enough to fit in in Austin, I soon found out 

     B (D)                 A (Cadd9)                     B (D) 
That them U.T. girls don't know you when you're down and out
 
Chorus: 
    A (Cadd9)                  E A E A (G Cadd9 G Cadd9)
And I gotta get the hell outta Texas

        B (D)                 A (Cadd9)    E A E A (G Cadd9 G Cadd9)
Because Texas aint where this Virginia boy belongs

           A (Cadd9)
I aint no cowboy eatin fajitas

E (G) (G/F#)         (Em) C#m
Dancin two-step with senoritas 

    E (G)                  B (D)      E (G) 
I'm leavin on a jet plane, adios, San Antone

Verse 2: 

There's a brand new F150 on every lane of 35 

Some banker in Dallas sure as hell don't need a 4-wheel drive

And they call me a yankee 'cause I'm from Virginia, what the hell does that mean?

I suggest they take that one up with Robert E. Lee 

(Chorus, Guitar 2 solos over verse)

Verse 3: 

So I'm throwin out the Stetson and leavin on the next jet plane

I can't live in no state where everyone thinks they're the next John Wayne 

Now I still sing all them songs by Guy Clark and Robert Earl Keen 

But them Blue Ridge Hills is where I'm gonna be 

(Chorus) 

A (Cadd9)                        E   C#M (G G/F# Em)
Leavin on a jet plane, adios San Antone 
    E (G)                  B (D)   E A E  (G Cadd9 G)
I'm leavin on a jet plane, adios San Antone
