INTRO:
NONE
VERSE:
GBm
Nothin' but time here on my hands
A
And these steel strings on my fingertips
GBm
I press my mouth up to the mic
A
Wish I was kissin' on your sweet red lips
G
And the hard part about leavin'
BmAA
Is that I can't lie that I love bein' gone
Em
'Cause I'm addicted to the dream
GDGD
And heartaches make for one heck of a song
CHORUS:
GBm
Dirt roads and highways, truck stops and cafes
A
Long stretch of highwire and little white lines
GBm
Sawdust and dance halls, first shots and last calls
A
Beneath the glow of all those neon signs
Em
Yeah, I'm runnin' down a melody
G
To give it the words and set it free
DA
And tryin' not to write it all wrong
Em
I just wanna livе the kinda life
GDGD
That's gonna make for onе heck of a song
VERSE:
GBm
Like that one time out in A
A
Me and the boys went out for the night
GBm
And old Hollywood and his three friends
A
Came in the Troubadour lookin' for a fight
G
So we went out back to the alley
BmA
And let's just say that it didn't take too long
Em
I guess we could have walked away
GDGD
But that don't make for one heck of a song
CHORUS:
GBm
Dirt roads and highways, truck stops and cafes

Yeah, I keep howlin' at the moon and shootin' for the stars
