C F
Guitar cases, long faces
C G
A warm embrace and Sarah’s tears
E Am
Freeway hums and sadness comes
G C
And LAX just disappears
C F
Airplane jails, and ginger ale
C G
A magazine or two
E Am
Landing gear, and airport beer
C G
And I’m on my way to you
CHORUS:
C F
Rolling up route 74
C F
Through the French Broad River corridor
C F
I see old Black Mountain holding court
G
And I know the trip is getting short
C F
And then there you are so divine
C F
The crown on Queen Caroline
C GF
The Asheville city skyline, whoa
Old buds, bear hugs
Settle in to pick some strings
Blue Ridge trees, a Pisgah breeze
Ian’s hungry and Jacob sings
Microphones, banjo drones
A banner head across my knee
Makers Mark, gettin’ dark
Feels mighty fine to finally be
CHORUS:
C F
Rolling up route 74
C F
Through the French Broad River corridor
C F
I see old Black Mountain holding court
G
And I know the trip is getting short
C F
And then there you are so divine
C F
The crown on Queen Caroline
C GF
The Asheville city skyline, whoa
E Am
Then it’s said and done with a warm chuckle
G C
The sound of a mando case buckle
G C
Morning chill, a coffee bill
G C F
Take to the skies and realize
F
I sure wish that I was still
CHORUS:
C F
Rolling up route 74
C F
Through the French Broad River corridor
C F
I see old Black Mountain holding court
G
And I know the trip is getting short
C F
And then there you are so divine
C F
The crown on Queen Caroline
C GF C
The Asheville city skyline, whoa
