The skies were pure and the fields were green The sun was brighter than it's ever been
      Dm7Dm7          Am/E               Bbmaj7Bbmaj7        C majorC
When I grew up with my best friend Kenny  We were close as any brothers than you ever knew
     FF            Gsus2Gsus2         A minorAm             Bb majorBb
It was always summer and the future called We were ready for adventures and we wanted them
         Dm7Dm7       Am/E      Bbmaj7Bbmaj7      C majorC
all There was so much left to dream And so much time to make it real.

      DmDm         Am7/E         Bb majorBb        C majorC
But I can still recall the sting of all    The tears when he was gone
        DmDm                 A minorAm        Bb majorBb         C majorC
They said he crashed and burned   I know I'll never learn why any boy should die so young
      Gm7Gm7              C majorC           DmDm           Bb majorBb
 We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune    We got in trouble but we sure got around
       Gm7Gm7              C majorC               DmDm       Dm/C
There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark  I think he's right behind me now and
        Bb majorBb
he's gaining ground
      Am7Am7         DmDm            Bb majorBb      C majorC
But it was long ago and it was far away     God it seems so very far
    Am7Am7       DmDm          Bb majorBb        C majorC   C7C7
And if life is just a highway  Then the soul is just a car

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And when the sun descended and the night arose I heard my father cursing everyone he knows

      Dm7Dm7          Am/E          Bbmaj7Bbmaj7        C majorC
He was dangerous and drunk and defeated  And corroded by failure and envy and hate
     FF            Gsus2Gsus2         A minorAm           Bb majorBb
There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees
     Dm7Dm7       Am/E         Bbmaj7Bbmaj7      C majorC
And my father's eyes were blank as he hit me again and again and again

     DmDm            Am7/E         Bb majorBb     C majorC
I know I still believe he'd never let me leave, I had to run away alone
      DmDm             A minorAm           Bb majorBb      C majorC
So many threats and fears, so many wasted years, before my life became my own
         Gm7Gm7         C majorC           DmDm         Bb majorBb
 And though the nightmares should be over    Some of the terrors are still intact
       Gm7Gm7        C majorC            DmDm      Dm/C
I hear that ugly coarse and violent voice and then he grabs me from behind and then he
      Bb majorBb
pulls me back
      Am7Am7         DmDm            Bb majorBb      C majorC
But it was long ago and it was far away     God it seems so very far
    Am7Am7       DmDm          Bb majorBb        C majorC   C7C7
And if life is just a highway  Then the soul is just a car

There was a beauty living on the edge of town and she always put the top up and the hammer down
      Dm7Dm7          Am/E          Bbmaj7Bbmaj7        C majorC
And she taught me everything I'll ever know about the mystery and the muscle of love
     FF            Gsus2Gsus2            A minorAm            Bb majorBb
The stare would glimmer and the moon would glow, I'm in the back seat with my Julie like Romeo
     Dm7Dm7       Am/E       Bbmaj7Bbmaj7      C majorC
And the signs along the highway all said "Caution! Kids At Play!"
         DmDm             Am7/E          Bb majorBb       C majorC
Those were the rights of spring and we did everything, there was salvation every night
      DmDm            A minorAm           Bb majorBb        C majorC
We got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn but everything we tried was right
       Gm7Gm7         C majorC           DmDm        Bb majorBb
She used my body just like a bandage    She used my body just like a wound
       Gm7Gm7        C majorC             DmDm             Dm/C
I'll probably never know where she disappeared but I can see her rising up out of the back seat now
        Bbmaj7Bbmaj7           Bb majorBb
just like an angel rising up from a tomb!
      Am7Am7         DmDm             Bb majorBb      C majorC
But it was long ago and it was far away     Oh God it seems so very far
