(Pick)
        Dsus  Dm                    C  C(add9) 
Come on baby, let's get out of this town
Dm                                           C  C(add9) 
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down
Am                           C                     G
There's a chill in my bones, I don't wanna be left alone
Am               G             C    C(add9) C
So baby, you can sleep while I drive
             Dsus    Dm         C     C(add9) 
I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar
Dm                         C    C(add9) 
In my pocket I'll carry my harp
Am                           C                   G
I've got some money I saved, enough to get under way
Am                G             C    C(add9) C
And baby, you can sleep while I drive
                 Dsus   Dm    C       C(add9)
We'll go through Tucson up to Santa Fe
Dm                                             C   C(add9)
And Barbara in Nashville says we're welcome to stay
Am                             Am            G
I'll buy you glasses it Texas, a hat from New Orleans
Am                 G                      C     C(add9) C
And in the morning you can tell me you're dreams

(Strum)
Am                            G                            C
You know I've seen it before, this mist that covers you're eyes
Am                           G                   C
You're looking for something that is not in your life

(Pick)
Am                      C                      G
My intentions are true, won't you take me with you
Am                G             C    C(add9) C
And baby, you can sleep while I drive

(Guitar break (Pick))
                                
Dsus  Dm  C  C(add9)  C  Am  G  C

(Strum)
Am      G    C
OOOh oo OOOh is it other arms you want to
Am   G           C
Ho-- OOh oo --ld You

(Pick)
C             Am                     G                       C
The stranger, the lover you're free, can't you get that with me
        Dsus  Dm                    C   C(add9)
Come on baby, let's get out of this town
Dm                                              C   C(add9)
I've got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down
Am                             C                       G
If you won't take me with you, I'll go before night is through
Am                G             C
And baby, you can sleep while I drive

(Sounds best on a 12-string Guitar)
