verse 1 
                     E 
I've gone through Arizona, right through New Mexico 

I'm gonna keep on driving just as hard as I can go 
       A 
I'm an Interstate daddy 
                            E 
Taking my lonely heart back home 
    B7 
I'm going back to Texas 
                               E 
Back to the only gal I've ever known 

verse 2 
E                                         E 
That Lone Star spirit is right here by my side 
E                                                         E 
When I cross through old El Paso my heart will fill with pride 
      A 
Ain't gonna stop for nothing 
A                             E 
Till I see the lights of San Antone 
     B7 
I'm going back to Texas 
B7                              E 
Back to the only love I've ever known

E                                               E 
I'm going back to Texas, that's how it's gonna stay 
E                                                        E 
Back to my old stomping grounds and the joints I used to play 
    A 
And when I get back home 
A                           E 
Lord, I know I'll never be alone 
     B7 
I'm going back to Texas

Back to the only gal I've ever known

I'm an Interstate daddy

Taking my lonely heart back home

I'm going back to Texas 
                               E 
Back to the only gal I've ever known
