Midnight On Raton Lyrics

CAPO: 6th Fret
INTRO: C G C G C
Sitting in a motel
On the outskirts of Raton
How the years have flown since Townes
Passed through these hills alone
I got someone who loves me
But it's too late to phone
I wanna ride this road forever
And I'm dying to go home
INTERLUDE: C F G C F G C
Out there on the interstate
The hurrying of the cars
High above room 28
The swirling of the stars
And I draw the vinyl curtains
Like a veil across my skin
I turn the bedside lamp down
And I let my shadows in
BRIDGE:
'Cause I feel so full and
So empty handed
In a world so cruel
I don't think I understand it
Are we still the fools who
Don't know right from wrong
Here at midnight on Raton?
INTERLUDE: C F G C F G C
I find a crumpled napkin
And I fumble for a pen
Chase a fleeting moment
Like it was my long lost friend
And I curl up 'neath the blankets
And I dream until the dawn
But, come morning I'll be through these hills and gone
Come morning I'll be through these hills and gone
OUTRO: (## repeat 7x and fade to end ##)
