Verse:
G                                   C
I bet this road will take me out of here 
G                         C
Take me far away from Amarillo 
G                  D
I bet this car will go real fast 
C
The wheels might even drive me past 
G                    D           C     G
The places that you said I'd never go, oh
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/miranda_lambert/new_strings_crd.html ]
[same as verse]
The Texas sky is the biggest one I've ever seen 
But it still ain't big enough for you and me 
All the things that make you mad
All the baggage in your past 
Don't leave much room for a girl like me to be 
G                         D                G
So, I'll fill her up with hope and worn out dreams 

[chorus]
G
I'll grab the wheel and I'll point it west 
D/F#
Pack the good and leave the rest 
C
Drive until I find the missing piece 
G                                    D/F#  
You said I wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas 

And an empty heart 
C
But I got everything I'll ever need 
            G               D                G
I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings 

Mama said, I never should've done it 
I should have ended us before we ever started 
Daddy knew about my pride so he stood there 
And he smiled inside and I pretended that I
Didn't notice a little tear that fell when I said, I was going 

[chorus]

[bridge]
D
I've worried about life and 
C
If it's right and right in time 
D
I guess if you don't ever jump 
C
You'll never know if you can fly

[chorus]
