C G Am G F G 

C                      G
   Heard the word from Brenda Lee
Am                   G
   You were coming home she said
F                         G
   Cross my heart I could not believe it
F                           G
   Holy hell you could have struck me dead (but)
C                       G
   Three cheers for the grapevine (what)
Am                         G
   Told me you were coming home
F                        G
   Let's see where the night takes us
F                       G
   Let's see where the night goes

C Em Am G F Dm G

C                      G
   I admit it's been slow going
Am                        G
   You pay your bills and still they own you
F                        G
   You know the way with best laid plans
       F                     G
   Til this is me and that's who I am (now)
C                        G
   I make the rounds and pay my dues
         Am                   G
   Meet up with friends and I dream about you
F                         G
   It isn't much but it's still a lot
   F                 G
   Sometimes honey I still get lost

            C            Em
   In those long nights, old cars
Am                   G
   Backroads and the boneyards
F                               Dm
   You dropped the pedal like a holy roller
   G
   Sheriff of hell couldn't pull you over

   C                   Em
   Tough girl from the bad town
Am                   G
   Brought up not to stay down
F             Dm
   Sweet tea,    white lightning
G
   Breaking hearts and not minding

   C                  Em
   Come on in it's so good to see ya
        Am             G
   It's been so long I know I know I?
F                      Dm
   Let's see where the night takes us
G
   Let's see where the night goes?

   Last I saw you was a'greyhound waiting
            Bm               A
   You said don't be sad and don't be blue
G                A
   LA is not the destination

   Only the living go to the graveyard grieving
G                        A
   Still we're alive and you're astounding
   G                     A
   Feel the pulse of the world pounding
   D                     A
   Feel the pull of the American diverse
       Bm                        A 
   The mountains the rivers, the fields at harvest
G                       A
   It's all we have and that's a lot
   G             A

   The old car
       Bm
   The backroads
           A
   And the boneyards
