Laura Wilson chords by Joe Purdy

Verse:

G
Well I dreamt that I saw Laura Wilson

C
In a vision like we were kids

G
I tried to tell her I'm sorry

D
For leaving the way that I did


G

I heard that she married a preacher

C
I saw her picture one time

G
I knew I had nothing to offer

G                  D       G
For this life is a highway life

Chorus:

C                     G
I'm getting to old for fairytale stories

C                       G
Lovers that live on the run

C                     G
Heroes that ride like lightning

G                         D
Hit songs that never get sung

C                                 G
If the hands on the clock worked backwards

C                                   G
I could right all the things I done wrong

G
I'd stay with Laura Wilson,

        D             G
In the hills of Arkansas

Verse:

G
Well theres something that I might do different

C
Some stories that I couldnt change

G
Some people I wish I'd known better

D
Some nights that I just couldn't dream


G
I'd spend more time in the sunshine

C
Picking more traveling songs

G
Laughing out loud, singing for crowds

G                       D       G
Instead of sitting here singing alone

Chorus:

C                     G
I'm getting to old for fairytale stories

C                       G
Lovers that live on the run

C                     G
Heroes that ride like lightning

G                         D
Hit songs that never get sung

C                                 G
If the hands on the clock worked backwards

C                                   G
I could right all the things I done wrong

G
I'd stay with Laura Wilson,

        D             G
In the hills of Arkansas

Verse:

G
Well theres places that I've seen in my lifetime

C
Some places I've never been

G
Some places I'd love to go back to

D
Some places I couldnt care less


G
Well all of the cities I've traveled

C
And all good people I've known

G
The lesson I've learned is

G                                   D            G
Memories burn all the feelings that lead me back home

Chorus:

C                     G
I'm getting to old for fairytale stories

C                       G
Lovers that live on the run

C                     G
Heroes that ride like lightning

G                         D
Hit songs that never get sung

C                                 G
If the hands on the clock worked backwards

C                                   G
I could right all the things I done wrong

G
I'd stay with Laura Wilson,

        D             G
In the hills of Arkansas
