I found it outside of Birmingham headed to another place
F C G C
Took me five hundred miles to get to the bottom of my suitcase
F C G Am
It was in between a pair of jeans and my old black winter coat
F C G C
It took my breath away when I read what she wrote
C G
May the wheels keep turning, get you where you need to go
Am F
I'll keep the porch light burning 'til you get back home
C G
May the angels fly beside you, down every mile you roll
Am F
May heaven hear this prayer, prayer for the road
C G Am F

As much as she misses me, she found the words to write
F C G C
Enough to keep me warm on a cold December night
F C G Am
And when I'm running on empty and I'm feeling lost
F C G C
I can hear her voice, whispering to God
C G
May the wheels keep turning, get you where you need to go
Am F
I'll keep the porch light burning 'til you get back home
C G
May the angels fly beside you, down every mile you roll
Am F
May heaven hear this prayer, prayer for the road
C G Am F
Dm C G
Must have read that note at least a thousand times
Dm F G
It always takes me where the highway meets the sky
C G
May the wheels keep turning, get you where you need to go
Am F
I'll keep the porch light burning 'til you get back home
C G
May the angels fly beside you, down every mile you roll
Am F
May heaven hear this prayer, prayer for the road
