INTRO 
Dm - Bb - Dm - Bb - Dm - Bb - C - F 
 
        F 
well my lady left her lamp light burnin 
Dm 
prayin for my safe returnin 
         Bb            C                 F 
and in a moment i'll be nothin more than gone 
          F 
where the highway churns and burns its greed 
Dm 
fulfilling every sinners need 
        Bb          C                F 
and its slowly turnin pilgrims into pawns 
 

        F 
well i'm out the door and in my truck 
       Dm 
and she wishes me the best of luck  
       Bb             C                F 
and she waves to me as i pull down the drive 
   F 
i'm swallowed up into the night 
Dm 
safe behind these dashboard lights 
     Bb             C             F 
and i thank god that somehow i am still alive 
 

Dm      C               F 
and the moon its almost full tonight 
Dm        C                 F                 Bb  
and i can see for miles and miles beneath this light 
      Bb                C                 F  
and the coyotes must be crazy down in the countryside 
Dm     C              F 
and my heart it is on fire it seems 
Dm      C         F          Bb 
burning images of my old childhood dreams 
        Bb                           C 
and they swell, like an angel born in flight 
                        F 
like the moon its almost full tonight/R 
 
well the Fnight drifts by in awesome wonder 
Dm
cast beneath the rolling thunder 
     Bb         C                   F
as i cut a path across these golden fields 
F                 
thoughts of her go floating backwards 
Dm
hoping happy ever afters 
    Bb                     C             F
and raindrops from heavens rafters on my windshield 
     F                     
lets turn into a new day darlin
Dm                        
try to hear your own heart calling
    Bb                C             F 
the time is now there is no time to wait
F 
follow on that path you've chosen 
Dm
slowly melting come unfrozen 
Bb                    C                F
relieve your guard of his duty at your gate 
 
Chorus 
              Dm          Bb 
and its almost full tonight  
Dm - Bb - C 
 
        F 
well my lady left her lamp light burnin 
Dm 
prayin for my safe returnin 
        Bb             C                 F 
and in a moment i'll be nothing more than gone
