C5 A5
Met on an interstate
F5 C5
Bound for Carolina
A5 C5
Sure is hard to get there
F5 C5
But your soul knows the way
C5 A5
She had the gift of tongue
F5 C5
Laurels and medals
A5 C5
He gave up that life
F5 C5
Long before today
G5 F5 C5 C5
She was fourteen years old
A5 F5 C5 C5
He was barely a man
A5 G5 F5
Now she's pickin' up her life
G5 C5 F5 F5 C5 F5 F5
An' he sings with the band
C5 A5
Her eyes light up the night
F5 C5
Like itty bits o' sequin
A5 C5
She likes his face
F5 C5
A story of its own
C5 A5
Company's a fright
F5 C5
Lonely in Manhattan
A5 C5
Waiting for a savior
F5 C5
Or to see his show
G5 F5 C5 C5
She grew out her hair
A5 F5 C5 C5
Says she wants to be a star
A5 G5 F5
It's a long road to heaven
G5
From the backseat of A5 car C5 F5 F5 C5 C5 C5
A5 G5 F5 C5
A dancer, a poet, a living existential
A5 F5 C5 C5
Nothing St. Estephe cannot save
A5 G5 F5 C5
One can escape from running in circles
A5 F5 G5
Promises die in the grave
C5 A5
Night they finally spent
F5 C5
Winona, Minnesota
A5 C5
A pretty face was born here
F5 C5
The ugly pass away
C5 A5
Holy is the magic
F5 C5
In this life or after
A5 C5
Romance is a stranger
F5 C5
Lets a lover stay
G5 F5 C5 C5
Now she's twenty years old
A5 F5 C5 C5
And she's found another man
A5 G5 F5
She's lookin' back on life
G5 C5 FF5 C5 FF5 C5 FF5 CC5
An' he sings in the band
