You're Not From Texas Lyle Lovett Lyle performed this (among other gems) on "Austin City Limits" on a songwriters special with Willie Nelson and Rodney Crowell. I don't know if this is even the name, or if it is on one of his records. Notes: The first five verses use the same chord patterns. The last two verses uses the same chord patterns (as indicated in the next- to-last verse. In the chorus, the last line is simply holding the same chord form (D7), start at the 4th fret, and move up a fret at a time four frets. In the 6th verse, a similar move is made going from A7/6 up to B7/6.
