* Capo on the second fret. 
 
 
      C                          F 
Got a pick-up truck and a sunny day 
 
    C                         G 
Texas morning and a good highway 
 
  F                          G                          C 
A can in your hand and you threw it in the back of the bed 
 
                                          F 
Well the wind caught the can, it hit the ground 
 
   C                                     G 
Ya didn't notice cause you didn't look around 
 
                                                                              
        F                    G                          C 
Now you're mess'in with Texas you gotta get it through your head 
 
      F                   G 
The can ended up in the road 
 
  C                                  Am 
You really didn't mean to lose that load 
 
                                                                       F      
                        Dm                     G 
But the road is a mess and the road used to look so fine 
 
           F                 G 
Don't you mess with Texas friend 
 
           C               Am 
Don't you make me say it again 
 
                                                        F                     
                   G                        C 
When you're mess'in with Texas you're mess'in with a friend of mine.
