Thus are the dreams of an average 
Jane

Ninety miles an hour down  a lovers 
lane
      Dm        F           
On a tank of dreams Oh if she 
           Dm    F
could've only seen
      G                   F

C
Now just a little while into Abilene

Pulls into a station and he robs it 
clean
       Dm             F           
She's waitin' in the car

She can't help but love him for the 
way he is.

Somewhere in a roadside motel room

Alone in the silence she wakes up

And reaches for his arm But she'll
             Dm     F
 just keep reachin' on
G                          F
