written and performed by Waylon Jennings.



Verse 1:
         D
	Do you remember Cactus Texas

	Nothing but a wide place in the road

	Eighteen wheelers never go there

	Main Street's just too narrow for the load
                  G
	A little town of honest people
                                       D
	Some we haven't seen for quite awhile

	I was young and restless
                A                                  D 
	And we both were full of dreams and runnin' wild


Verse 2:
         D
	We left our old hometown and family

	Barely had a nickel to our name

	We were out to win the world

	Not once looking back or losing aim
                    G
	We hit the big town and the big time
                                    D 
	Not a lot of effort in the deal

	But in the bargain we lost touch
                      A                            D
	With one another and old feelings that were real


Verse 3:
         D
	In a big house up on easy street
	
	Where too much never seems to be enough
	
	We're not the same two people

	Far away from all the days when the times were rough
            G 
	Including you and i
                                      D
	Everything is separated by a wall
          
	It's not something we can talk about
            A                            D
	In fact we seldom even talk at all


Verse 4:
                  G   
	I don't think we realize
                                    D
	How or why we ever came this far
                  D/
	Let's go back to Cactus Texas
              A/ 
	Maybe once we're there
                               D/  
	We'll find out where we are
