To play along with the CD, capo at the 2nd fret. Intro Chords: G5 C5 D5 G5 G5 C5 Carolina highway, past boroughs and pine breaks G5 D5 The road long behind me, every signpost reminds me G5 C5 My eyes have grown heavy, my wheels drone on steady G5 C5 D5 G5 In the heat of the wide, the heat of the wide, the wide afternoon. Chorus: D5 C5 G5 I been here forever, my whole life at least. E5 A5 D5 Trapped between morning optimism and night fleeting dreams. G5 C5 Here where it matters, where reality looms G5 C5 D5 G5 In the heat of the wide, the heat of the wide, the wide afternoon. G5 C5 This road was a drug when I started way back G5 D5 Each hill that I killed was like a pill that I took to relax. G5 C5 Till the peace in the valleys, got a little too peaceful G5 D5 All the ridges I run and all that I done G5 has left me with eyes full. G5 C5 Eyes full of the worst, eyes full of the best G5 D5 Eyes full of the tiredness that won let me rest. G5 C5 All the places I go to, no place is brand new G5 C5 D5 G5 In the heat of the wide, the heat of the wide, the wide afternoon. Chorus Solo G5 C5 Some people sit still, some people go fast G5 D5 Some go right to it, some never get past G5 C5 Laying a map out, they don plan just assume. G5 D5 G5 And wind up forever in the heat of the wide, the wide afternoon. Chorus G5 C5 Here where it matters, where reality looms G5 C5 D5 G5 In the heat of the wide, the heat of the wide, the wide afternoon. Outro chords: G5 C5 D5 G5
