Running Blind

[Verse]
     D
At a quick shop somewhere west of 
Albuquerque
Got a tank of gas, a cold drink, and
   A7
 a beef jerky
    D                D/F#  G
The cashier she gave me a smile
     D                 A7         
So I stood there and I talked to 
    D
her awhile

[Chorus]
    G                         D
She said "where you headed, I hope 
you get there soon
I've seen 'em all day long, from 4 
        A7
a.m. to noon
D                               
Some are runnin' from, some are 
D/F#    G
runnin' to
                 D            A7  
Some are runnin' blind, Lord, 
          D
which one are you"

[Verse]
       D                           
Well I said "it don't appear to me 
   G             D
to be so cut and dried
You don't know me from Adam, can it 
A7
be so black and white"
   D                           G  
I said "I got a plan you see I got
            D
 it figured out
How can you be so sure my dear of 
A7           D
what I'm all about"

[Chorus]
          G                        
She said "I've stood in this window
     D
 for twenty-seven years
I can tell you cash or credit, I can
 A7
 tell your brand of beer
      D                            
I can tell you who's liar, and the 
         D/F#     G
truth is plain to see
                 D               
That's your last twenty boy, and 
A7               D
don't you lie to me"

[Bridge]
           G                  
"There's a girl in Albuquerque 
 D
cryin' ain't there
           G                       
And you're standin' in a quick shop
 A7
 lyin', ain't ya...well?"

[Verse]
    D                              
She handed back my twenty, said 
               G
"you know what to do
D                                 
If you drive it steady son you'll 
              A7
be home this afternoon
D                              
And I hate to judge you, I don't 
          D/F#   G
mean to seem unkind
                          D        
But there ain't no use in runnin' 
         A7           D
if you're only runnin' blind"
          G               D       
Nah there ain't no use in runnin' 
          A7            D
if you're only runnin' blind
