                     MELISSA ETHERIDGE

INTRO:  Dm7

VERSE:
N.C.
Take the road to Tonganoxie, just before Sun Catcher Lake

Go past the cemetery oh child please don’t make me wait
               C                    G
Cause there’s something wrong with what I’ve done

                    D
I haven’t got much time

                      C           G               D
I can’t stay here in Kansas I’ve gotta cross the line



CHORUS:
     D                      C            G          Bb
So, take me down to the Missouri on the way to Arkansas

     C                         D
The devil’s in a hurry to see what my mamma saw

D               C               G             Bb
Now I’m on the run I’ve got no other place to go

        C                 D     Dm7
Except down the stranger road



VERSE:
N.C.
I walked straight out the back door I covered up my tracks
                                                    Dm7
My poppa thinks it’s criminal so I ain’t coming back

               C                    G
Cause there’s something wrong with what I’ve done

                    D
I haven’t got much time

                     C
And what I want and what I need

    G             D
Is all I have in mind



CHORUS:
     D                      C            G          Bb
So, take me down to the Missouri on the way to Arkansas

     C                         D
The devil’s in a hurry to see what my mamma saw

D               C               G             Bb
Now I’m on the run I’ve got no other place to go

        C                 D
Except down the stranger road



BREAK:
 D
Come on, come on, come on,

                            Dm7
Come on, come on, come on, come on

     Dm7                    C
The blood runs hot but the eyes are cold

 Bb               G
Driving down on stranger road

            D                        C
Ohhhh The blood runs hot oh but the eyes are cold

 Bb                      Gm       Dm   D
Driving down to hell on stranger roooooooad



CHORUS:
 D                      C            G          Bb

     C                         D
The devil’s in a hurry to see what my mamma saw

D               C               G             Bb
Now I’m on the run I’ve got no other place to go

Come on, come on, come on
