Intro ditty is for someone else to figure out. Here's the rest of the song.
VERSE 1
G Bm
Dark sky blue with a bright red crown.
Em C
The invitation every city and town.
G Bm
Ready to go in-to the unknown.
Em C
I don't know the if and whens of coming home.
PRECHORUS 1
Am G
My future crept up on me, much like a heart at-tack
Am G D
Straight life is calling me, and I ain’t calling back
CHORUS
G C
Out, out on the inter-state
G C
Out, out on the inter-state
G C
Out, out on the inter-state
D
Out on the interstate again. [Fig. 1]
VERSE 2
G Bm
On either side it's a fern and creek,
Em C
And nothing but black asphalt, in between.
G Bm
It's not safe to drive in the rear-view
Em C
It's what lies a-head that can kill you
PRECHORUS 2
Am G
My future crept up on me much like a heart attack.
Am G D
The straight life is calling me, but I aint calling back.
CHORUS
SOLO: G Bm Em C x4
PRECHORUS 3
Am G
And re-ality is bangin' hard on my bathroom door.
Am G D
And nobody calls me ‘cause I don't answer it no more.
