[Intro]
A D E A
[Verse 1]
A D E A
Packed the hatchback of this yellow Toyota
A D
Filled it up with gas
E A
And what’s left of my dreams
A D E A
Hoping Sunday morning that I make California
A D
Come hell or high water
E A
Whatever that means
[Chorus]
A D E A
Ooh it’s just me and Emmylou
A D
A thousand miles of blacktop
E A
And a big blue sky
A D A
She thinks she’s the queen of some Mexican desert
A D E A
Her head hanging out the window as the trucks roll by
[Interlude]
A D E A
[Verse 2]
A D E A
Stopped for the night in southern Colorado
A D
Hoping there’s enough tequila
E A
and limes in Telluride
A D
Well, Emmy tried to bite
E A
some drunk dime store cowboy
A D E A
Guess her taste in men is still better than mine
[Chorus]
A D E A
Ooh it’s just me and Emmylou
A D
Drive through coffee
E A
Pack of Pall Mall lights
A D A
She thinks she’s the queen of some Mexican desert
A D E A
Her head hanging out the window as the trucks roll by
[Interlude]
A D E A
[Verse 3]
A D
Well I can just see Emmy
E A
Trying to dig a hole to China
A D E A
While I’m drinking margaritas on Venice Beach
A D E A
I wonder if you’ll miss me back there in Georgia
A D E
Well if you ever change your mind, you know where I’ll be
[Chorus]
A D E A
Ooh now it’s just me and Emmylou
A D
A thousand miles of blacktop
E A
And room enough to fly
A D A
She still thinks she’s the queen of some Mexican desert
A D E A
Her head hanging out the window as the trucks roll by
A D E A
And it sure feels like we’re gonna be alright
A D E A
My hand is out the sunroof waving goodbye
[Outro]
A D E A
Ooh it’s just me and Emmylou
A D E A
Ooh it’s just me and Emmylou
A D
Her head hanging out the window
A
And I’m driving all night
