Driving at night
Em C
The Trans-Canada Highway
Am C
Was lit up for miles in the snow
G G/F# Em C
I lit a smoke and you rolled down the window
Am C
You said it gave you a headache
G G/F#
But that was a line
C
That you often used
G G/F# C
It always worked on me
G G/F#
I pulled to the side
C
Of the winding road
G D G
So we could get some sleep
G
G G/F#
And I watched you snore
Em C
As the snow started falling
Am
Your phone started ringing
C
Your husband was calling
G G/F#
But I let you sleep
Em C
Cuz you looked like you were dreaming
Am C
And that suited me man, fine
G G/F# C
And we got on the road back to Medicine Hat
G G/F# C
To the town where you grew up
G G/F#
I pulled in the driveway
C
And cranked up the heater
G D G
And you turned the radio up
Am C
You said "I think I'm getting old"
G G/F#
I said "I think that you look be-tter than ever"
Am C
So lets keep drivin' any direction
G
I won't spare you no affection
G/F#
In our beautiful new life
G
(And I said) It won't be easy leaving
G/F# Em
Everything behind
C Am C
But lets leave everything behind
