Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Verse: D Where the steeples and the skyways meet Through the lonely and deserted streets A G D I’ve been wandering my way back home To the girl with the secret smile A That holds my heart a million miles away G Wherever I roam Chorus: G D Praying for the bright headlights coming over the hill I’ll never go away again I swear G D It’s turning darker with the passing time but I’ll be here still I hope you’re not asleep when I get there A D I’m a night owl waiting for you
Verse: D County lines and water towers I’m making ground burning daylight hours D G D Getting lost in rolling fields and pastures But as the stars begin to fall I find myself trying to count them all A G D And wish on one to get me there faster D Chorus: G D Praying for the bright headlights coming over the hill I’ll never go away again I swear G D It’s turning darker with the passing time but I’ll be here still I hope you’re not asleep when I get there A D I’m a night owl waiting for you Bridge: A Hurry up, hurry up D Before the morning A I’ll be staying up, staying up D D7 Dreaming of you Chorus: G D Praying for the bright headlights coming over the hill I’ll never go away again I swear G D It’s turning darker with the passing time but I’ll be here still I hope you’re not asleep when I get there A D I’m a night owl waiting for you
