Howlin' at midnight, winter creepin' in

Feel like I've gone and lost my best friend

F C
My best friend, lost my best friend

This car's headed down the wrong track again

I ain't got nobody, I'm nobody's girl

Gonna get in my Mercury and drive around the world

F C
Around the world, all around the world
G F C
When I reach that mountain top I'll stand with flags unfurled

She's up in New York City tryin' to make it big

Wrote me a letter yesterday sayin' I ain't got no gigs

F G
Ain't got no gigs, I ain't got no gigs
G F C
If you wanna send me somethin', make it a two dollar rig

GUITAR SOLO

F C
Where you are, where you are
G F C
Gotta get yourself out of all those Texas bars

Howlin' at midnight, winter creepin' in

Feel like I've gone and lost my best friend
