Children of Jack Lyrics

The fingerpicking pattern goes like this:
Intro:
At night when I'm out riding
Along the dark highway
I get a feeling inside me
To throw all that I have away.
And I'll leave all this behind me
Like that job that I had in the day
All the black dressing soul testing lovers and liars
And the speeding tickets I never pay
(Interlude, mostly just strumming these chords:)
Do you believe in love at first sight
As a matter of fact I do
Every time that I open my eyes
That saying comes true
Cause I see you in the laundromat
Black Irish washerwoman in a funeral hat
Italian ballerina on an asphalt stage
Bleach blond born of a Victorian age
Chorus:
America - where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
as we ride away in the light.
-Solo goes here-
|: G D/F# Em7C :| x3
And if I were to take you by force
And carry you away
Back to my bedroom
Just for music to play
And I'd play you the songs that I've written
And the ones that I can't seem to write
Maybe you'd know what you're missing
Maybe you'd stay past the night
Chorus:
America - where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
as we ride away in the light.
My father he built me this backpack
Just an inch or two big for real
I'll pack my guitar and the smoke from this bar
My songs and one hot meal
And I'll ride to the west chasing sunsets like gold
At dawn I will ride to the east
I'll find all the friends that I've lost on the road
Maybe then I'll know me some peace
Chorus:
America - where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
as we ride away in the light.
There's so much more to this wonderful world
Then we are sold on TV
So tell me if you are not already dead
That you'll come and live it with me
Leave your college plans to your one-night stands
Your business clothes and the rest
There's pleasure enough in your heart and your hands
Blue jeans suit you best
Chorus:
America - where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
as we ride away in the light.
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
as we ride away in the light.
