Measure 5: D
On a childhood highway, through a night alone
I was barely breathing, I was crawling home
Well it's not quite London, or the south of France
Or an Asian island, or a second chance.
Going back to Nashville, thinking about the whole thing
Guess you gotta run sometimes
Maybe I'm a fast train rolling down a mountain
G A (2 measures)
Watching all my life go by.
You're a distant memory, you're an exit sign
I was talking crazy on the driver's side
And I know I hurt you, but I can't confess
Was that blood or a wine stain on your wedding dress?
Going back to Nashville, thinking about the whole thing
Guess you gotta run sometimes
Maybe I'm a fast train rolling down a mountain
Watching all my life go by.
Going back to Nashville, laughing at a bad break
What's the use in wondering why?
Maybe I'm a storm front blowing through the valley
Tearing up a good July.
And it's safe and warm where nothing ever happens
Would it be so hard to realign a star or two?
Bm A (hold) D (see pattern below)
Change a southern night for you.
Interlude (very similar to intro, with one adaptation):
Measure 1: D - D(add9)
Measure 2: D - D(accentuate 3)
Measure 3: D - D(add9)
Measure 4: D - D(accentuate 3)
Well it's not quite evening, and it's not New York
There's a scar in the blue sky by the old airport
And I'm talking crazy on the driver's side
I will always love you like a long goodbye.
