Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
All through northern Oregon
Always at my side
Sleeping in those narrow beds
And then wed ride
Drinking in those dirty bars
Keeping out of sight
Sleeping in that cold back seat
And then wed ride
You know that God damn road seemed like it went forever
Exhaust fumes made our eyes turn red and swell
With our clothes stuck to the seat and to our bodies
It was the stinking summer trip thorough southern hell
Eating carbonated crap
Churning up in side
And then wed ride
Silence in the front seat
Trying not to start a fight
Quiet half-hid crying
And then wed ride
You know you can grow to hate these crummy little one-horse towns
With the seamy movie houses long closed down
Nowhere to go from here but up or down that road
Nothing over there but the same G-d damned town
Another sour coffee cup
One more piece of cardboard pie
Buy a toothbrush and a change of clothes
And then wed ride.
