[Intro]
A  A6  A  A6  A
E  E6  E  F#m  D  A


[Verse 1]
A       A6                A
The Rio Grande is runnin’ deep,
       A6            A
How I love to let it sweep me down,
E                F#m        D       A      A6  A
Runnin’ with the oak leaves pushin’ south.


[Verse 2]
A          A6               A
I got some friends in San Antone,
            A6            A
They always open up their home to me,
E7             F#m         D            A     A6  A   E7
Send me up the road with a good night’s sleep.


[Chorus]
          F#m   E  A
Lace your boots up tight,
E                 F#m     D
Tomorrow we’ll be one day older,
F#m E7  A
Rain or shine,
E                 F#m         D     A
Tonight I want to run for the Texas line.


[Verse 3]
A
Well the southern sun is mean,
A
But there’s hollers in between the hills,
E                               F#m
When the wind flies through the trees,
   D          A
It cools your heels.


[Chorus]
     E7   F#m   E  A
Lace your boots up tight,
E                 F#m     D
Tomorrow we’ll be one day older ,
F#m E7  A
Rain or shine,
E                 F#m         D     F#m  E7  A
Tonight I want to run for the Texas line.


[Instrumental]
A  E  F#m   A
A    E  A


[Verse 4]
A
There’s a rhythm in the land
A
I can feel it in my hands and feet
E                     F#m      D     A
And it lives in every note and every beat


[Outro]
          F#m   E  A
Lace your boots up tight,
E                 F#m     D
Tomorrow we’ll be one day older ,
F#m E7  A
Rain or shine,
E                 F#m   D
Tonight I want to run,
F#m       E7       A
Lace your boots up tight,
E                 F#m     D
Tomorrow we’ll be one day older ,
F#m E7  A
Rain or shine,
E                 F#m         D     A
Tonight I want to run for the Texas line,
A
