The Star Room Boys - Was There Something In Her Eye

A

........D

long ago

.........G....................D

I believe it seems a while

..................A

there was a girl

...............G............................D

Lord she touched me with her style

.................A

oh with her style

............................D

and with a ways to go

..................G....................D..........................A

I guess I'd cross the finish line in the setting sun

............G........................D

I made out, she waved goodbye

.................A

she waved goodbye

...........G.......................A

down a dark and lonely highway

..............G......................D

you can see just straight ahead

.........G..........................A

as it's gone you feel the distance

........................G.........................D

from what was done to what you said

..........G

as you thunder toward the future

.............D...............G

and you leave it all behind

.............D........................G

you can wonder was she crying

....................A........................D

or was there something in her eye

as time flies by

well I've been proud and I've been humbled

and I have run

and I have walked and I have stumbled

and now and then

when I linger for a while

I remember that sweet girl

was there something in her eye

down a dark and lonely highway

you can see just straight ahead

as it's gone you feel the distance

from what was done to what you said

as you thunder toward the future

and you leave it all behind

you can wonder was she crying

or was there something in her eye

oh in her eye

in her eye

..........................A
back in my old corner chair

I guess it really wouldn't matter where I might have been

E
drunk, wild, and free

...............................A
I've been clear out of line

............................................B
and this one really did it this time

.............E
or was it me

I said I'd love you so
she said, "baby, me too"
maybe I should've seen it through
these crying eyes that should've taught me what I really shouldn't know

E
guess I've figured I've been all around

...............................A....A/G#.........F#m
I know how to be a woman's kind of man

.....................................B
now I'm sitting where I am

...............A.........................B..................A.........B............E
one more broken-hearted lover in this broken-hearted town


E
I'll be right here

same old faces same old crowd

................................B
bartender, one more beer

..............................................A..............................E
I wanna make sure that they hear me when I say, "go out"

E
I'll ask my friends how love and happiness

......A...A/G#..F#m
can get so far apart

why do lonely men and women want to break each other's hearts

Yeah, I'll be right here

why do lonely men and women want to break each other's hearts

The Star Room Boys - Gastonia

D
I can't believe I ever woke up

G......................D
without her here before

.......A
all I know is that I can't do that right

G................D
alone anymore


D
another late night has become

..G..........................D
a day I never hoped I'd see

.........G..................................D
and I don't know what she's thinking

................................A
but it's surely not of me


D
she was alone the night I met her

..G....................D
alone deep in her eyes

...............A
now she's heading for her hometown

...........G.........................D
with the trucks on eighty five

....G...............D
as clear shiny crystal

.............................G
the hardest kind of blue

..................................D
I'll take a pass on the smoke and the gas

A...............................D
I'm bound to get there too


D
oh my love I've got to find

.......G.....................D
over backroad twenty nine

...G...............D
Gastonia she came from

................................A
back there she's gone I pray

..............D
but if she don't want to be found

...........G...................D
in that little redneck town

.........G.................D
I'll be crying to her momma

..............A......................D
when the sun goes down today


G.........................D
Gastonia wants to forget her

........................A
Gastonia I never will

.....D
Carolina how I love

.................G....................D
your rolling waters by the sea

.............G.................................D
but that inland town drags me down

...............................A
and roves right over me


..D
I followed behind her

.........G..............D
is she up there at all

.....................A
Lord please help me make the border

G....................D
before I hit the wall

............G.....................D
and the flowers that I bought her

................................G
lay beside me getting dry

.........A
I'll be chasing her forever

....G....................D
I'll never find out why

oh my love I've got to find
over backroad twenty nine
Gastonia she came from
back there she's gone I pray
but if she don't want to be found
in that little redneck town
I'll be crying to her momma
when the sun goes down today
I'll be crying to her momma
when the sun goes down
down today
