Loving County

Cappo 6th fret Intro: Verse I loved a girl she lived out in Pecos pretty as she could be And I worked the rigs on out in Oddessa to give her whatever she needs But that girls she runs with an oil company bum cause a diamond was not on her hand But He left her soon neath the big Loving moon to go out and x-ray the land Chorus Now I sit in my car the new rainbow bar downtown And the frost on the wind sheild shines towards the sky Like a thousand tiny diamonds in the lights of Loving County Verse Well I walked in that bar and I drank myself crazy thinkin bought her and that man When in walked a woman lookin richer than sin and ten years worth of work on her hand Well I followed her home and when she was alone I put my gun to her head And I dont recall what happened next at all but now that rich woman she's dead Chorus Now I drive down the highway ten miles from my sweet baby's arms And the moon is so bright it don't look like night and the diamond how it sparkles in the lights of Loving County Instrumental.................... Verse Well she opened that door and I knelt on the floor and I put that ring in her hand And she said I do and she'd leave with me soon to the rigs out in south Alabam Well I told her to hide that ring there inside and wait till the timin was good And I drove back home and I was alone cause I thought that she'd understood Chorus The next night an old friend just called me to wish us both well said he'd seen her downtown sashay'in around and her diamond how it sparkled in the lights of Loving County Instrumental................ Verse Well that sheriff he found me out wonder'n all around El Paso the very next day You see I'd lost my mind on that broken white line before I even reached Balmaray Now she's in Ft.Worth and she's just givin birth to the son of that oil company man And they burried that poor old sheriffs dead wife with the ring that I stole on her hand Chorus Sometimes they let me look up at that East Texas sky and the rain on the pines oh lord how it shines like my darlins little diamond in the lights of Loving County Outro
