[Intro 1]
[G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
He grew [D]up in a [E]one-
horse [A]town
Wasn't much to do since all
them [D]bars [A]had closed down
[D]He'd stare up to the stars sometimes
when [E]no one was [A]around
And he dreamed of getting [D]out[A]

[Verse 2]
So he [G]bought himself a pick- up
truck that was [A]covered up in rust
He found a [G]buddy for the shotgun seat
that was [A]someone he could trust
And they [D]hit the gas,
headed west out [E]to the setting [G]sun
When the dust had [A]cleared,
they were gone.
[D]

[Verse 3]
Well [G]leaving just came natural,
that's the [A]way it seemed to him
He'd been [G]doing it so long,
that's the [A]way he'd always been
And you can [D]find him in some [A]hotel
room with the [Bm]television [D]on
He might be [A]high and he'll
[Bm]probably ramble on
You [D]can laugh beneath fluor[A]escent
lights and [Bm]drink until the dawn
But in the morn[G]ing... in [A]the morning when

[Interlude 1]
you wake up he'll be gone.
[D][E][G][A][D]

[Verse 4]
So he met a [D]girl in a town
[E]along the way
She had [A]beautiful brown eyes and
[D]a place that he could [A]stay
[D]So he fell in love,
and she [E]fell in love in [A]kind
It was so perfect that of
[D]course he lost his [A]mind.

[Verse 5]
He [G]snuck of the kitchen one
[A]day before the dawn
[G]She called out after him and
[A]ran across the lawn
And he [D]said some things
that he didnt mean
That he'd [E]best be travelin [G]on
She shed some [A]tears and he was gone.
[D]

[Verse 6]
Well [G]leaving just came natural,
that's the [A]way it seemed to him
He'd been [G]doing it so long,
that's [A]the way he'd always been
And you can [D]find him in some [A]hotel
room with [Bm]the television [D]on
He might be [A]high and he'll
[Bm]probably ramble on
You [D]can laugh beneath fluor[A]escent
lights and [Bm]drink until the dawn
But in the morn[G]ing... in [A]the morning when you wake up he'll

[Interlude 2]
be gone.

[Verse 7]
[D]Eighteen years later,
fifteen- [E]hundred miles from home
[A]He can't shake her from his mind
though the [D]whiskey soaks his [A]bones
[D]He heads out on a back- roads
in [A]the [E]middle of [A]the night
Petal to the metal,
you know he [D]timed that curve just [A]right
But some [G]bridges you cross over but
the [A]rest you've got to [G]burn
He may have lost the road the road
but I [A]know he made his turn

[Verse 8]
And as we [D]pulled him from the wreckage,
[A]I pro[E]mised him a s[G]ong
Cause it was [A]clear that he was gone.
[D]

[Verse 9]
Well [G]leaving just came natural,
that's the [A]way it seemed to him
He'd been [G]doing it so long,
that's the [A]way he'd always been
And you can [D]find him in some [A]hotel
room with the [Bm]television [D]on
He might be [A]high and he'll
[Bm]probably ramble on
You [D]can laugh beneath fluor[A]escent
lights and [Bm]drink until the dawn
But in the morn[G]ing... in [A]the morning when

[Outro 1]
you wake up he'll be gone.
