Coming down the highway like a fright

Laughing three o’clock at night

With the desert stars above

Singing June and Johnny's songs

And no one called our bluff
A minorAm E MajorE E7E7 FF G+G
And love was a simple song

Like a memory at the back of my mind

Close your eyes the moment's past

The higher tide had other plans
