Verse 1
D
I was just fifteen and out of
A
D
G
D
control lost to James Dean and rock and roll
G
D
I knew down deep in my country soul
A
Am
that I had to get away
D
A
Hollywood was a lady in red who
D
G
D
danced in my dreams as I tossed in bed
G
D
I knew I?d wind up in jail or
A
D
dead if I have to stay
G
I thought happiness was Lubbock
A
D
Texas in my rearview mirror
G
A
My mama kept calling me home but I
D
A
Bm
A
just did not want to hear her
G
And the vision was getting
Abdim
E
A
clear er in my dream
D
G
So I let out one night in June stoned on
D
the glow of the Texas moon
Humming an old Buddy Holly tune called
A
Peggy Sue (pretty, pretty Peggy Sue)
D
With my fa vorite jeans and a cheap
G
D
guitar I ran off chasing a distant star
G
D
If Buddy Holly could make it that
A
D
far then I figured I could too
G
I thought happiness was Lubbock
A
D
Texas in my rearview mirror
G
A
My mama kept calling me home but I
D
A
Bm
A
just did not want to hear her
D
G
And the vision was getting
Abdim
E
A
clear er in my dream
Bm
But the Hollywood moon didn't smile
F#m
the same old smile that I?d grown up with
Bm
A
C
The lady in red just wanted my last dime
D
F#m
And I cried myself to sleep at night
Bm
D
too dumb to run too scared to fight
G
Abdim
And too proud to admit
E
A
it at the time
D
G
So I got me some gigs on Saturday night not
D
much more than orchestrated fights
G
D
I?d come home drunk and I tried to write
A
but the words came out all wrong
D
G
Hell bent and bound for a wasted youth too
D
much gin and not enough vermouth
G
D
And no one to teach me to seek the truth
A
D
before I put an end to this song
G
I still thought happiness was Lubbock
A
D
Texas in my rearview mirror
G
A
D
My mama kept calling me home but I just could not,
A
Bm
D
would not hear her
G
Abdim
And the vision was getting clear
E
A

er in my dream
A
D
Well I thank God each and every day for
G
D
giving me the music and the words to say
G
D
I?d never had made it any other way
A
D
A
he was my only friend
D
A
D
Now I sleep a little better each night and when
G
D
I look in the mirror in the morning light
G
D
The man I see was both wrong and
A
D
right he's going home again
G
I guessed happiness was Lubbock
A
D
Texas in my rearview mirror
G
A
But now happiness was Lubbock Texas
D
A
Bm
D
growing nearer and dearer
G
And the vision was getting
Abdim
E
A
clear er in my dream
G
Abdim
And I think I finally know
E
A
just what it means
G
Abdim
E
Abdim
And when I die you can bury me in Lub
G
G
bock Texas in my jeans
