Strum
D-DU-UDU
It's 2 am and pitch black
And I've got so far to go
My hands are hangin' from the wheel
But my mind it only roams
The sun went down behind the hills
And the miles are draggin' past
This highway rolls forever
But I'm comin' home at last
Make it last
I want to feel the mornin' come
Make it last
I want to see the mornin' sun
I want to fly
Like an angel in the wind
Make it last
'til I'm in your arms again
(same chords as verse 1)
By the highway is a diamond
Glowin' in the night
All along the dark horizon
First sign and crack of light
Up the road I see a hotel
Better pull in off the line
Tomorrow seems forever
But I'll make it home on time
Repeat refrain.
Ridin' 'neath the shotgun moon
The clouds watch from above
The things we do to keep this life
The things we do for love
The chain they call the highway
Can nail you like a stone
What I wouldn't do to have one hour
To be with you alone
Repeat refrain.
Up ahead I see a woman
I can see her silhouette
It's 4 am, the lights are out
I can see the empty bed
She's starin' out the window
She puts out a cigarette
The night rolls on forever
Like the prairies in the West
Repeat refrain.
