Kenny Chesney
Version1

Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  keep tellin myself this  is the right thing to do
 I was wastin  her time, waitin on dreams that  just weren't comin true
 And this old  highway seems  to understand
Leadin  me on to somewhere that  no one knows my name
  Em G (or C whichever you like better)
 I got the window rolled down, I got the radio up
 I'm doin all  that I can to get my mind  off us
What  I need to do is turn  this car around
Drive  as fast as I can til I see  the lights of our hometown
And  run to her, take her in  my arms
Make  her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn't  be so hard
 But I drive on,  and on, and  on
 VERSE 2 just like verse one. if you know the song it should be easy placing the chords
 the right spot.
 Eighty-seven more miles gets me into Baton Rogue
 There's a buddy of mine who says he might find some work that I can do
 Or maybe head up north to Knoxville, Tennessee
 I know my baby sister, has got a couch where I can sleep
 Now the sun's goin down on my broken heart
 Lord, I gotta go bak before I get too far
 THIS IS THE END OF THE CHORUS vvvv
 But I drive  on
 Yes I drive on,  and on, and on
 THEN THE SONG GOES BACK TO G TO CADD9 AND USES THESE FOR THE REST OF THE SONG
 Knowin what I need to do
 Girl, I'm comin home to you
 Knowin what I need to do
 Girl I'm comin home to you
 I'm comin home to you
 Knowin what I need to do...
