Capo 3 
 
C 
Jamie was a barmaid at the Underground Longrail 
      Em 
Seems like every Friday evenin' 
 
She'd find herself in jail 
      Am 
Not a friend this side of Houston 
 
With the time to throw her bail 
              F               G  
But she'll be fine, she'll be fine 
 
Spent a lifetime walkin' 

Through the walls of a broken home 

Not a man round here still standin 

For the girl to call her own 

Every time she tried to hold him 

She just ended up alone 

But there's still time, there's still time 
 
Davey drove a taxi through the streets of Boston town 

Like the billboards up above him 

The world just wore him down 

Only soul he'd ever cared for 

Was the one he'd never found 

But he'll be fine, he'll be fine 
 
Broken half of winter with a wind chill ten below 

Davey sittin in is kitchen laughin' 

'Bout how the world had done him so 

Then the postman burst his bubble 

With a letter from below 

And now it's time, now it's time 
F             G      C      C/B     Am  
And there's a lot of people runnin' around 
F         C                 G 
Not quite sure which way to go 
F          G    C       C/B     Am   
But as for me I think I finally found 
F              G             C     G 
It's just easy come and easy go 

Jamie grabbed a bottle threw her apron on the bar 

Packed her whole world in a suitcase 

And tossed it in the car 

Woke up in Texarkana 

Wonderin' how she got this far 

And on her own, on her own 
 
Stranger at the motel let Jamie stay for free 

She was gone before the daybreak 

On her way to Tennessee 

Lookin' to make the whole world over 

Into a place she wants to be 

But not alone, not alone 
 
Davey left his taxi in the bottom of a Beantown lake 

He said this whole world's full of chance 

And this is one I gotta take 

So he caught the line to Nashville 

To finally find his break 

And make a home, make a home 
 
As the train flew out of Boston, his whole world passed him by 

He said I spent a lifetime runnin' 

And now's the time to try 

If I can't find someone to hold me 

My dreams will surely die 

And I'll be gone, I'll be gone 
 
Chorus 

Bridge: 
     Am 
When Davey hit the pavement 
    F 
the sky was almost grey 
         C 
He lit a smoke off of the sidewalk 
   G 
To drive the storm away 
         Am 
And when Jamie turned the corner 
         F   
With the world upon her brow 
      C 
Davey said I must be dreamin' 
    G 
How could this happen now 
    Am 
And then she walked right towards him 
           F 
Looked him right up in the eye 
C 
Davey reached out for forever 
    G 
And Jamie walked on by 
 
Chorus
