Prayer For The Road

I found it outside of Birmingham headed to another place
Cadd9 G D G
Took me five hundred miles to get to the bottom of my suitcase
Cadd9 G D Em
It was in between a pair of jeans and my old black winter coat
Cadd9 G D G
It took my breath away when I read what she wrote
G D
May the wheels keep turning, get you where you need to go
Em Cadd9
I'll keep the porch light burning 'til you get back home
G D
May the angels fly beside you, down every mile you roll
Em Cadd9
May heaven hear this prayer, prayer for the road
G D Em Cadd9
Cadd9 G D Em
As much as she misses me, she found the words to write
Cadd9 G D G
Enough to keep me warm on a cold December night
Cadd9 G D Em
And when I'm running on empty and I'm feeling lost
Cadd9 G D G
I can hear her voice, whispering to God
G D
May the wheels keep turning, get you where you need to go
Em Cadd9
I'll keep the porch light burning 'til you get back home
G D
May the angels fly beside you, down every mile you roll
Em Cadd9
May heaven hear this prayer, prayer for the road
G D Em Cadd9
Cadd9 G D Em
Must have read that note at least a thousand times
Am Cadd9 D
It always takes me where the highway meets the sky
G D
May the wheels keep turning, get you where you need to go
Em Cadd9
I'll keep the porch light burning 'til you get back home
G D
May the angels fly beside you, down every mile you roll
Em Cadd9
May heaven hear this prayer, prayer for the road
G D Em Cadd9 (X5 to the end)
