She's in some far-off land.

Well, your streets are gettin' empty,

Lord, your highway's gettin' filled.

And your highway's gettin' filled.

Lord, Lord I'm a-bound to die tryin'.

Well, meet me in the middle of the ocean
                      (riff)
And we'll leave this ol' highway behind.

Well, the ocean took my baby,

My baby stole my heart from me.

Yes, the ocean took my baby,
       D7 (riff)
My baby took my heart from me.
       A
She packed it all up in a suitcase,
                   (riff)
Lord, she took it away to Italy, Italy.


Verse:
D7
So, I'm a-walkin' down your highway

Just as far as my poor eyes can see.
       G
Yes, I'm a-walkin' down your highway
       D7  (riff)
Just as far as my eyes can see.
       A
From the Golden Gate Bridge
                  (riff)
All the way to the Statue of Liberty.
