      C                          F
Got a pick-up truck and a sunny day

    C                         G
Texas morning and a good highway

  F                          G                          C
A can in your hand and you threw it in the back of the bed

                                          F
Well the wind caught the can, it hit the ground

   C                                     G
Ya didn't notice cause you didn't look around

                                                                             
        F                    G                          C
Now you're mess'in with Texas you gotta get it through your head

      F                   G
The can ended up in the road

  C                                  Am
You really didn't mean to lose that load

                                                                       F     
                        Dm                     G
But the road is a mess and the road used to look so fine

           F                 G
Don't you mess with Texas friend

           C               Am
Don't you make me say it again

                                                        F                    
                   G                        C
When you're mess'in with Texas you're mess'in with a friend of mine.
