Wide Afternoon

G  C  D  G

G                                 
Carolina highway, past boroughs 
                    C
and pine breaks
      G                         
The road's long behind me, every 
                     D
signpost reminds me
G                                 
My eyes have grown heavy, my 
                 C
wheels drone on steady
G                   C            
In the heat of the wide, the heat
       D           G
 of the wide, the wide afternoon.

[Chorus]
D                          C     
I've been here forever, my whole 
        G      Em
life at least.
Am                        D
Trapped between morning's optimism 
and night's fleeting dreams.
G                                 
Here where it matters, where 
            C
reality looms
G                   C            
In the heat of the wide, the heat
       D                G
 of the wide, the wide afternoon.
G                                 
This road was a drug when I 
  C
started way back

Each hill that I killed was like a 
G                   D
pill that I took to relax.
G                                 
Till the peace in the valleys, got
    C
 a little too peaceful
                    G              
All the ridges I?ve run and all 
       D
that I?ve done
                 G
has left me with eyes full.
G                             C
Eyes full of the worst, eyes full of
 the best
                     G         
Eyes full of the tiredness that 
               D
won't let me rest.

G                                 
All the places I go to, no place 
  C
is brand new
G                    C           
In the heat of the wide, the heat
        D              G
 of the wide, the wide afternoon.

[Chorus]
D                          C     
I've been here forever, my whole 
        G      Em
life at least.
Am                        D
Trapped between morning's optimism 
and night's fleeting dreams.
G                                 
Here where it matters, where 
            C
reality looms
G                   C            
In the heat of the wide, the heat
       D                G
 of the wide, the wide afternoon.
G                                 
This road was a drug when I 
  C
started way back

[Solo]
G                           C
Some people sit still, some people 
go fast
G                                 
Some go right to it, some never 
  D
get past
G                                
Laying a map out, they don?t plan 
C
just assume.
G                          D     
And wind up forever in the heat 
                     G
of the wide, the wide afternoon.

[Chorus]
G                            C
Here where it matters, where reality
 looms
       G            C             
In the heat of the wide, the heat 
      D                G
of the wide, the wide afternoon.
