[VERSE 1]
[D]He met her down in New Orleans, [A]five foot three sweet and petite,
[Bm]innocent na[A]ive and far from [G]home
[D]Full of Hope and high on dreams, [A]in a new city where anything can
[Bm]happen if she [A]makes this town her [G]own
[Em]Brave enough to [D]try it all [A]alone
[VERSE 2]
[D]He ordered shots and a round of beers, [A]and ask her how she wound up here,
and for a [Bm]moment it looked as [A]though she'd [G]cry
[D]Maw left home when she was young, [A]Paw got mean and he got drunk,
with a [Bm]bottle pressed [A]against his lips he [G]died
[Em]Late that night she [D]packed and hitched a [A]ride
Chouse 1
[D]She says I'm going somewhere new where no one [A]knows me
And [Em]nothings there to muddy up my [A]path
[D]This life has so much more that it can [A]show me Than the
[Em]darkness that's clouded up my [A]past
She [F#m]hopes to meet a kind strong man to [Em]mend her broken heart
A [G]chance for her to [A]make a brand new [D]start
[VERSE 3]
[D]He was born near San Antone, [A]but it never felt like home,
and he [Bm]knew he had to [A]leave this town [G]behind
[D] He robbed a couple liquor stores, [A]shot a man and stole his car
and [Bm] headed out [A]chasing them white [G] lines
[Em] Louisiana [D]border by sun[A]rise
Chours 2
[D]He says I'm going somewhere new where no one [A]knows me
And [Em]nothings there to muddy up his [A]path
[D]This life has so much more that it [A]owes me than the the
[EM]darkness that's clouded up my [A]past
He [F#m]hopes to meet sweet young girl to [Em]tame his rebel heart
A [G] chance for him to [A]make a brand new [D]start
[BRIDGE]
[Bm]Sure enough around [A]closing time two [G]strangers entered [D]in
[Bm]Their father killed in [A]Texas over [G]car keys and some [A]gin
[Bm]They pulled their weapons [A]from their belts and [G]fired them his [D]way
[Bm]Then walked on through the [A]smoke filled bar [G]where a fallen body [A] lay
start strumming slowly
[Bm]He had run away [A]but there she was, her [G]hand clenched to her [D]chest
[Bm]One last tear rolls [A]off her cheek and [G]she takes her final [A]breath
Chours 3
[D]And now she's going somewhere new where [A]no one knows her
And [Em]nothings there to muddy up her [A]path
[D]This life has so much more that it could have [A]shown her
Than the [Em]darkness that's clouded up her [A]past
[F#m]Where she's going there's no tears or [Em]girls with broken hearts
[G]A place where she will [A]get her brand new [D]start.
