Verse 1:
E MajorE
After three nights in jail, I head north from Toyaville
A augmentedA
Switch to 285 in Pecos, head up to Red Bluff
E MajorE
My walk's real steady and my eyes are real cold
When I feel like I'm only sixteen years old
A augmentedA
Lost in a travel lodge
E MajorE
With the television on with the sound down
I don't feel so tough
A minorAm BB E MajorE
Old issues of sunset magazine to read
A minorAm BB
Sleep for twelve hours
E MajorE
Dream about home
Verse 2:
E MajorE
I have no place to go
So I drive up to New Mexico
A augmentedA
Fix my eyes in the rearview when I cross the stateline
E MajorE
And I panic I guess
And although it's quite late
I take the first exit to 128
A augmentedA E MajorE
I am coming back to Midland and I hope you won't mind
Polaroids of the two of us
A minorAm BB
Scattered on the passenger seat
E MajorE A minorAm BB
I drive slowly and eat early
E MajorE
