Verse:1

More road up ahead
My radio still broken

C9                                                  G
The spinning of the wheels and the fencline lead my way
G
Your picture on the dash
D
and the need to fly so high
C9                      D                 G
Are the only two things that I can hold today
G
I left you way down south
D
crying at the rivers mouth
C9                                            G
I got a show up north so I guess it's just as well
G
You're still the one for me
D
But I'm the man I'll always be
C9                        D                        G
And I won't be the one that takes you straight to hell

C9                        D
Cause I'm out here on my own
G               C9
Drinkin' all alone
                      D                Em
Thinkin' bout things and what I left behind
C9                         D
and I need you more right now
G                        C9
To give me redemption somehow
                       D          G
Rollin' north of that Red River line

Instrumental:


G  C9  D  C9

G  C9  D  G


G
So don't you cry for me
D
Cause I can taste what you can't see
C9                                     G
But always know you got a place in my heart
G
I got an angel riding shotgun
D
I got the devil in the back
C9                     D                G
and the war they wage is gonna tear me apart


Chorus:

Instrumental: Do first instrumental (2x)


G
As I'm talking to you now
D
The sun is going down
C9                                             G
I don't know where I am, but God it makes me smile
G                           D
I need just one more word coming from your sweer lips
     C9                    D                 G
And I swear I'll call you back in a little while


Chorus:
C9                        D
Cause I'm out here on my own
G                      C9
too tired and halfway stoned
                            D                 Em
Thinkin' bout things-------and what I left behind
C9                         D
and I need you more right now
G                        C9
to give me redemption somehow
                       D          G
Rollin' north of that Red River line
