E A

Verse 1:
E
After three nights in jail, I head north from Toyaville
A
Switch to 285 in Pecos, head up to Red Bluff
E

My walk's real steady and my eyes are real cold

When I feel like I'm only sixteen years old
A
Lost in a travel lodge
                  E
With the television on with the sound down

I don't feel so tough
Am      B        E
Old issues of sunset magazine to read
          Am B
Sleep for twelve hours
        E
Dream about home

Verse 2:
E
I have no place to go

So I drive up to New Mexico
A
Fix my eyes in the rearview when I cross the stateline
E
And I panic I guess

And although it's quite late

I take the first exit to 128
A                       E
I am coming back to Midland and I hope you won't mind

Polaroids of the two of us
Am       B
Scattered on the passenger seat
       E      Am B
I drive slowly and eat early
           E
