Why Don't You Meet Me Down In Corpus?

by Gary P. Nunn

It's so (C) good to hear your voice 
On the (F) telephone
But I'm (G) sorry to say, 
Don't think I'm coming (C) home
But this (C) morning I was thinking, 
I could rent a car in (F) Santa Fe
You could (C) leave tomorrow I could (G) leave today
And we could (C) slip away

CHORUS (same chords)

Why don't you meet me down in Corpus
There's just so much that I need to say
If I could keep it on the interstate, 
I'd be there by Saturday
But if you beat me down to Corpus
Just find that little place we like to stay
Take a day or two, make it all brand new
On Corpus Christi Bay

one verse instrumental

Yes I know you get so tired of always being alone
And I'm tired of thing, always being gone
But for now we'll have to work a little harder
Drive a little farther, do the best that we can
Leave the baby with your mama
The dog with the neighbor, baby, pack up your van

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE

Why don't you meet me down in Corpus
