[Verse 1]
Bm A D A
I'm the son of a highway daughter
G A D
Born in gasoline
D A Bm A
I traced the steps of my foolish father
G A
And danced with the devil in Galilee
D A Bm A
It was a cold winter, ice above the water
G A D
And nails stuck between my toes
D A Bm A
So I cried out and I buried my doubt
G A D
And all the women along the road
[Verse 2]
G
And I went down to Dublin County
D A G
Where I found God in a bottle of wine
G A
And I headed up north thinking I could find
D A G
Any work or peace of mind
Bm A D
Nobody sells that around here too much anymore
[Verse 3]
Bm A G D
I woke up stoned with a bag of bones
G A D
Laying in my bed
D A Bm A
She was breathing fire, I was a worn out tire
G A
Trying to brush her ash outside of my head
D A Bm A
It was an easy game, nothing in the chase
G A Bm
Needed something just a little more cold
D A Bm A
So I traded her in for a bag of sin
G A D
And I headed on down the road
[Verse 4]
G
And I got lost in California
D A G
Where I'd been waiting on the days to rain
G A
But I was looking to find any reason to hide
D A G
But no reason ever came
Bm A
And all of the lonesome sounds of the streetlight
G A D
Pushing strangers along their way
[Bridge]
G A G A G
A
That town kept calling me
G
That town kept calling me
A
That town kept calling me
G
But, that town kept calling me
A
That town kept calling me
G
That town kept calling me
A
That town kept calling me, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Bridge 2]
G A G A
[Outro]
D A Bm A
I'm the son of a highway daughter
