Lyrics
Tully's on a plane key [E]
(vamp "E" intro) [4X] by Don Haddock ©
[E] [A]
Tully's on a plane, she's headed for L.A.
[E] [B7] [CHORUS]
Taking baby and the money too
[E] [A]
I'm stuck here in Texas broke and feeling used
[E] [B7] [E]
With nothing but these holes in my shoes.
[A] [E] [E7]
Things were pretty good from the start
[F#m] [B]
Tully knew just how to touch my heart [VERSE]
[A] [E]
And working 2 jobs seemed like fun
[F#m] [B]
Cause she was always there when I got done.
[E] [E] [E7]
Playing games just like we were kids
[A] [E]
Who'd have thought we'd ever hit the skids
[A] [E]
But Tully couldn't let go of the past
[F#m] [B]
And I was growing up way to fast.
(chorus) + (instr over chorus)
Always thought she'd be there for me [VERSE]
Call me a fool, I couldn't see
That she was missing mama and her daddy too
And having a new baby turned her blue.
(chorus) + (instr over chorus)
yea, homesick became her middle name [VERSE]
and she looked to me to put the blame
so I started drinking, and stopped coming home
I even stopped a calling on the phone
(chorus ) + (repeat last line & end)
