C5 F5 Twenty miles left to the show A5 F5 Hello, my old country, hello C5 G5 Stars are just beginning to appear D5 And I have never in my life before been here C5 F5 And it's my heart, not me, who cannot drive A5 F5 At which conclusion you arrived C5 G5 Watching me sit here bolt upright and cry D5 For no good reason at the Eastering sky C5 And the tilt of this strange nation Bb5 And the will to remain for the duration A5 Waving the flag Bb5 Feeling it drag C5 Like a bump on a bump on a log, baby Bb5 Like I'm in a fist fight with a fog, baby A5 Step-ball-change and a pirouette Bb5 And I regret, I regret G5 How I said to you, "honey, just open your heart" F5 C5 When I've got trouble even opening a honey jar Bb5 And that right there is where we are... C5 F5 And I been 'fessing double fast A5 F5 Addressing questions nobody asked C5 G5 I'll get this joy off of my chest at last D5 And I will love you 'til the noise has long since passed (same as just above) And I did not mean to shout, just drive Just get us out, dead or alive A road too long to mention, lord, it's something to see! Laid down by the good intentions paving company C5 All the way to the thing we've been playing at, darlin' Bb5 I can see that you're wearing your staying hat, darlin' A5 For the time being all is well Bb5 Won't you love me a spell? (same as just above) This is blindness beyond all conceiving Well, behind us the road is leaving, yeah, leaving And falling back Like a rope gone slack G5 Well, I saw straight away that the lay was steep F5 C5 But I fell for you, honey, as easy as falling asleep Bb5 And that right there is the course I keep... C5 D5 And no amount of talking F5 C5 Is going to soften the fall Bb5 F5 But, like after the rain, step out G5 A5 Of the overhang, that's all It had a nice a ring to it When the ol' opry house rang So with a solemn auld lang Signed, sealed, delivered, I sang And there is hesitation And it always remains Concerning you, me, And the rest of the gang And in our quiet hour I feel I see everything And am in love with the hook Upon which everyone hangs And I know you meant to show the extent To which you gave a goddang You ranged real hot and real cold but I'm sold I am home on that range Bb5 F5 And I do hate to fold G5 A5 Right here at the top of my game Bb5 F5 When I've been trying with my whole heart and soul G5 A5 To stay right here in the right lane Bb5 F5 But it can make you feel over and old G5 A5 Lord, you know it's a shame Bb5 F5 When I only want for you to pull over and hold me G5 A5 'Til I can't remember my own name
