Capo 3 
 
C5 
Jamie was a barmaid at the Underground Longrail 
      E5 
Seems like every Friday evenin' 
 
She'd find herself in jail 
      A5 
Not a friend this side of Houston 
 
With the time to throw her bail 
              F5               G5  
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 
F5             G5      C5      C5     A5  
And there's a lot of people runnin' around 
F5         C5                 G5 
Not quite sure which way to go 
F5          G5    C5       C5     A5   
But as for me I think I finally found 
F5              G5             C5     G5 
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: 
     A5 
When Davey hit the pavement 
    F5 
the sky was almost grey 
         C5 
He lit a smoke off of the sidewalk 
   G5 
To drive the storm away 
         A5 
And when Jamie turned the corner 
         F5   
With the world upon her brow 
      C5 
Davey said I must be dreamin' 
    G5 
How could this happen now 
    A5 
And then she walked right towards him 
           F5 
Looked him right up in the eye 
C5 
Davey reached out for forever 
    G5 
And Jamie walked on by 
 
Chorus
