_ _ My mama was a waitress, my daddy a truck driver, the thing that kept their power from death,
[D] slowed me down a while.
[G] I remember the morning that was the closing of my [D] youth, when I said goodbye to no one,
and in that way I faced my truth.
[Bm] And I walk along the river, and the rain a coming down, [G] and a girl _ on a [A] rope.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] There's a rhythm to the highway, that match the rhythm of your fears.
My shopping bag possessions scattered, with my splattered [G] tears, a string of nights and truck stops.
In darkness and in light, [D] and a man they all called Tiger Boy, he just had to show me a way,
[Bm] he just had to give me something, I'd forever understand.
[G] There's a girl _ [A] on a rope, say, [D]
rain upon the water, lake's footprints sunk in sand,
anger upon angry hurt, take me by the [G] hand, take me by the heart strings,
pull me deep inside, [D] and say I'm one with your forgiveness, and separate from my [B] pride.
[Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] I don't know what it's like for you, but here's what it's like for me,
I wanted to turn beautiful, and serve eternity, [G] and never follow money,
or love with greasy hands, or move the earth in waters, just to make it fit my plans.
[Bm] My eyes would be the hopper, the words the perfect place for a girl, on the old [A] road.
_ _ _ _ _ [D]
I met you in the summer, I left you in the fall, in between we did some living, I like to think that's all.
[G] Now I see words can be like weapons, no matter that they're [D] small,
I use three tiny words on you, and then beat it down the hall.
[Bm] Does this road go on forever?
Does this terror no no end [G] for a girl _ [A] on a hell road?
_ [D] _
Rain upon the water, lake's footprints sunk in sand, anger upon angry hurt,
Take me by the [G] hand, take me by the heart strings, pull me deep [D] inside, and say I'm one with your forgiveness, and separate from my [C#m]
[Bm] pride.

You cannot measure what it takes, to mend a withered heart, they'll tell you at the onset,
[G] [D] everybody does their [G] part, I did my best to follow, the calling of my soul,
[D]
it's like that first guitar I played, at the center is a hole, [Bm]
at the center is a longing,
that I cannot understand, [G] there's a girl on [A] a hell road. _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] If music be a boulder, let me carry it a long while, let it turn into a feather, let it brush against my [G] smile, let the life be somewhat settled,
with the life the song has [D] made, there'll be nothing I'm longing for,
in some plan I may have [Bm] made, in some story quickly written, during a long forgotten time, [G] there's a girl [A] on a hell road.
_ _ [D] Rain upon the water, lake's footprints sunk in sand, anger upon angry hurt,
take me by the [G] hand, take me by the heart strings, pull me deep inside, [D] and say I'm one with your forgiveness, and separate from my pride.
