E
I'm driving a big lazy car rushin' up the highway in the dark
A
I got one hand steady on the wheel and one hand's tremblin' over my heart
E
It's pounding baby like it's gonna bust right on through
A | E | E | E | E | A | A | A | A |
And it ain't gonna stop till I'm alone again with you
E
A friend of mine became a father last night
A
When we spoke in his voice I could hear the light
E
Of the skies and the rivers the timberwolf in the pines
A
And that great jukebox out on Route 39
E
They say he travels fastest who travels alone
A | E | E | E | E | A | A | A | A |
But tonight I miss my girl mister tonight I miss my home
C#m
Is it the sound of the leaves left blown by the wayside
Asm
That's got me out here on this spooky old highway tonight
A
Is it the cry of the river with the moonlight shining through
B
That ain't what scares me baby what scares me is losing you
| E | E | E | E | A | A | A | A | E | E | E | E | A | A | A | A |
E
They say if you die in your dreams you really die in your bed
A
But honey last night I dreamed my eyes rolled straight back in my head
E
And God's light came shinin' on through
A
I woke up in the darkness scared and breathin' and born anew
E
It wasn't the cold river bottom I felt rushing over me
A
It wasn't the bitterness of a dream that didn't come true
E
It wasn't the wind in the grey fields I felt rushing through my arms
A | E | E | E | E | A | A | A | A |
No no baby it was you
E
So hold me close honey say you're forever mine
A | E | E | E | E | A | A | A | A
And tell me you'll be my lonely valentine
