Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
They [D]put up a sign for the very last time
At [A]Milly's Cafe
They loaded their stuff into the car
And [D]they drove away
Milly looked back for one last time
And [G]when she turned around,
she was crying

[Verse 2]
[D]Billy just listened to [A]the song
s the radio [D]played
They drove all the way from
Fort Worth to [A]Amarillo
When Milly woke up she had
makeup all over her pil[D]low
Billy had stopped at Easy Pawn
And [G]bought them up a couple of guns
Tomor[D]row, he said,
was gonna [A]be a brand new [D]day

[Verse 3]
[D]Billy and Milly tore up [A]the
entire West
They started holding up liquor stores
and then [D]they turned to banks
And it wasn't very long, you know
Their [G]picture was on the post office wall
And it [D]seemed that the whole [A]world
was looking for [D]them

[Verse 4]
And the roads just get [G]rougher
Out in West [D]Texas
The cowboys are [A]tougher
And the young girls are [D]restless
And the winds take [G]the towns
And there ain't any [D]signs
But there's always a [A]hill to climb
On the West Texas skyline
[D]

[Verse 5]
[D]Milly was raised by Christians in [A]Aberdeen
Her father was a preacher in the
biggest church you [D]ever did see
When word came down
about Milly and Billy
[G]He made a call up to New York City
He [D]said for some boys to come
[A]down and set things [D]straight
He met Milly in El Paso
[A]

[Verse 6]
Underneath a tree in the parking
lot of [D]the motel
And the next day when Billy
went in the bank
She star[G]ted the car and
she drove away
When [D]Billy came out,
[A]he never had a chance
[D]

[Verse 7]
And the roads just get [G]rougher
Out in West [D]Texas
The cowboys are [A]rougher
And the young girls are [D]restless
And the winds take the [G]towns
And there ain't any [D]signs
But there's always a [A]hill to climb
On the West Texas [D]skyline

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][D]
[G][D][A][D]

[Verse 8]
[D]Put up the sign one more time
At [A]Milly's cafe
They loaded the stuff out of
the car and into the [D]doorway
Milly looked back the one last time
And [G]when she turned
around she was crying
Her [D]daddy just got in his [A]car
and he drove away
[D]

[Verse 9]
And the roads just get [G]rougher
Out in West [D]Texas
Cowboys are [A]tougher
But the young girls are [D]restless
And the winds takes the town
[G]And there ain't any sig[D]ns
There's always a [A]hill to climb
On the West Texas sky[D]line
There's [A]always a hill to climb
On the West Texas [D]skyline

[Outro 1]
[D][A][D]
