Rachel rides the states by greyhound
D2 Bm7
This thursday she leaves for L.A.
D2 Bm7
She'll watch the day turn to night, night turn to day, day turn to night
D2/F# G2
And arrive sunday to the dawn
D2 Bm7
Rachel judges towns by their truck stops
D2 Bm7
And the men inside by their rides

She'll have men choose her, her choose men, men use her

And end up back on the bus

Everyone runs at one time or another
D G2/B C6/9 D/C
Everyone hates their father at least once

Everyone wishes they could write their past a letter saying

The weathers here

Wish you were beautiful
E7sus G2/B
Rachel is somewhere in Montana
E7sus G2/B
Watching the world through a window
E7sus G2/B E7sus
She sees both the field and her face, herself in the field, the field in herself
G2 G2/F# E7sus
And wants to break the glass
G2 A2 F2
Four more stops, twenty more hours
G2
One more chapter in a five cent book
A2 F2
Three lost wishes one lone quarter in the last phone booth
G2 A2 Bm7
Before you reach L.A
Em7 D5 Bm7
Rachel is trying to sleep
Em7 D5 Bm7
Somewhere someone wants her home
Bm7 A5 G2
behind her a baby is crying
Bm7 A5 G2
She cries for baby, the baby for her
Bm7(4) D2 G5 A5 B5
They both want to be sung to sleep
Bm7(4) D2 G5 A5 Bm7
They both need a lullaby
D A G2 D/F#
Everyone runs at one time or another
D G2/B C6/9 D/C
Everyone hates their father at least once

Everyone wishes they could write their past a letter saying
D2/F# G2
The weathers here

Wish you were beautiful
E7sus Bm7
Rachel stands knee deep in ocean
E7sus Bm7
letting the sand fill her shoes
E7sus Bm7
She'll watch the tide come in
E7sus Bm7 E7sus
She'll watch the tide go out
Bm7
The tide come in
E7sus D2/F# G2
And cry at how simple it is
