Side of the highway
       G+G   D MajorD
Rain pourin' down
                 C majorC     G+G
And I can't remember where I was headed to now
G+G             C majorC
Red stone on the dashboard
         G+G   D MajorD
My head in the clouds

I get in my lane baby I don't want to get out
 G+G            C majorC
Can't take it for granted
          G+G   D MajorD
When you feel this alive
                C majorC      G+G
Give a nod to the crosses all along the roadside
 G+G                      C majorC      G+G   D MajorD
It's hard to imagine that I didn't want to learn how to drive
                  C majorC        G+G
Roll down the window now just to let in the sky
FF   C majorC          G+G
Radio on and my left foot tappin'
FF     C majorC           G+G
Things I know and the things I imagine
FF      C majorC             G+G
The people I've seen in the cars I'm passin'
FF      C majorC            G+G
Rearview mirror and the red lights flashin'
               C majorC
Oh please lord don't let it happen
G+G           C majorC
Sunlight on the canyon
        G+G    D MajorD
Thin layer of snow
                    C majorC       G+G
A augmentedA bullet hole in a motel window and a burnin' mobile home
G+G             C majorC             G+G    D MajorD
And the wheel in your hand is the only thing you control
                       C majorC         G+G
The world’s just whippin' on past you like a line of telephone poles

FF      C majorC        G+G
The gasoline in the air I'm breathin'
FF      C majorC            G+G
The things I doubt and the things I believe in
FF      C majorC               G+G
The feeling you have when it's more than a feeling
FF      C majorC           G+G
The city I trust, and the city I’m leavin'
               C majorC
Oh maybe we'll just call it even
G+G                C majorC
There's a crack in my windshield
          G+G     D MajorD
And I'm hopin' it holds
                 C majorC        G+G
There's a crack in everything I hold close to my soul
G+G             C majorC         G+G  D MajorD
And the woman I'm next to, she'll never get old
             C majorC     G+G
I'll never forget you on American roads
