Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][Bm][A][G][D][A][Bm]
[A][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]His name was Travis,
[A]hers was Vanessa
Two Texas kids from [D]west of Odessa
Young love and lust defy
[A]rational thinkin'
They were [G]hotter than
an oil [A]field on [D]fire[A]
[D]When you're that young
[A]everything's crucial
You don't wait around
for par[D]ental approval
So he asked the question
and [A]she answered yes
They [G]jumped in his truck and
tore out [A]for Juarez

[Verse 2]
They had an [G]in formal wedding
south of the border
Got a [D]room with a view for three
bucks and a quarter
On a [G]Mexican night you don't
care what might lie [A]ahead
They had a won[G]derful [A]week in Juarez
[D][A][Bm][A][G][D][A][Bm]

[Verse 3]
[A]
[G]Now, when the bottom[D] fell out
of his [A]chosen vocation
They were too broke to move
to a [D]greener location
Bills you can't pay put
[A]a strain on devotion
They de[G]cided to [A]just call it quit[D]s
[A]Wel[D]l, it might have been luck
or di[A]vine intervention
But on the way to the lawyer divor
[D]ce wasn't mentioned
He said I still love you, [A]she looked at him
And said [G]I know a great way
to start [A]over again

[Verse 4]
They had an [G]informal wedding
south of the border
Got a [D]room with a view for three
bucks and a quarter
On a [G]Mexican night you don't
care what might lie [A]ahead
They had a won[G]derful
[A]week in Juarez
[D][G][A]

[Verse 5]
[D]His name was Travis, [A]hers was Vanessa
Two Texas kids from [D]west
[A]of Odessa[Bm]
