There's a storm across the valley, [A] clouds are rolling in.
[B] The afternoon is heavy [E] on your shoulders.
There's a truck out on the four lane, [A] a mile or more away.
[B] And the whining of his blues just makes it [E] colder.
He's an hour away from riding, [A] from your prayers up the sky.
[B] Ten days on the road [E] have barely gone.
There's a fire softly burning, [A] the supper's on the stove.
[B] But it's the light in your eyes that makes him [E] warm.

[A] All the time [B] I've laid [E] this tired old body [A] down.
[F#m] I feel your [B] fingers fell as salt [E] upon me.
[A] The kisses that [B] I live for, [E] the love that guides [A] my day.
[F#m] The happiness [A] living with [B] you brings me.
[G#m] [B] [E] It's the sweetest thing I know of, [A] just spending time with you.
