Verse 1:
E MajorE
I used to hate all my dad's old outlaw country bands
A augmentedA BB
He'd play me when I was young
E MajorE
'Cause they'd lie through their teeth about the lives they lead
A augmentedA BB
When all I wanted were honest songs
A augmentedA
But now they're anthems in the van
C# minorC#m
And we're screaming them out on the highway
BB
For good luck
A augmentedA
In the bright blistering sun

Runnin' toward the light

On the shoulder of a dream

I stagger through the streets

Last night we played another highway bar, for the first time they sang along

Like a blood pact for the drifters we've become
In the soft burgeoning sun
