[Intro] x2
Am C F G E
[Verses]
Am C F
Driving 120 East headed into the hills with the wildfire smoke running over my gills
G E
I could drive with my eyes closed the moon’s so bright
Am C F
City blocks turn to rivers of trees and I’m washing the dirt of a week off of me
G E
And I’m looking to friends and whiskey jars tonight
F C
And then, and then
C E
The music’s done the bags are packed again
Am C F
Well pines and redwoods reach to the sky in the land of winding roads we drive
G E
They wave to us and winds they wave us on
Am C F
Welcome’s felt when we play at the bar but it feels like we just stepped out of the car
G E
And the bell starts tolling time to get us gone
F C
And then, and then
G E
Last call we’re drinking black coffee again
[Chorus]
C E
Well it’s time we’re headed out but we’re not headed home
F C
Tail lights ahead dragging me straight for the dawn
F C
My eyes are feeling heavy and the road goes ever on
G E Am C F G E
But I’ll follow you, tonight we’re moving on
Am C F G E
[Verse]
Am C F
Well on a spiral road to a place in my mind where I struggle with god and with life and with time
G E
And it feels like I can’t do anything but wrong
Am C F
Well every choice feels heavy to me and I can’t remember my hopes and my dreams
G E
And I’m failing, feeling everything but strong
F C
And then, and then
G E
The music puts me on the road again
[Chorus]
C E
Well it’s time we’re headed out but we’re not headed home
F C
Tail lights ahead dragging me straight for the dawn
F C
My eyes are feeling heavy and the road goes ever on
G E
But I’ll follow you, yeahhhhhh
C E
Well it’s time we’re headed out but we’re not headed home
F C
Tail lights ahead dragging me straight for the dawn
F C
My eyes are feeling heavy and the road goes ever on
G E Am C F G E
But I’ll follow you, tonight we’re moving on ohhhhhhhhh
Am C F G E
Tonight we’re moving on ohhhhhhhhh
Am C F G E
Tonight we’re moving on ohhhhhhhhh
Am C F G E Am
Tonight we’re moving on
