G 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.
D Em
Going back to Nashville, thinking about the whole thing
D/F# Gmaj7 G5
Guess you gotta run sometimes

Maybe I'm a fast train rolling down a mountain

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

Was that blood or a wine stain on your wedding dress?

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?

I will always love you like a long goodbye.
