_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [F] I finally got [Bb] my turn down at St.
[G] Elizabeth's.
_ [F] The moment [Bb] I left my [Dm] heart started [G] to yank.
_ She said [Bb] let's get going [Dm] and we [G] boarded a train. _ _
[Dm] And rode out of that [Bb] rain _ on [E] the long way [F] home.
_ [Dm] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Dm] _ [Gm] _ _ _ [F] In Nebraska's [Bb] panhandle we [Dm] shouted and we [G] cried. _ _
[F] The [Dm] unidentified left our brains [G] in a scramble.
_ [F] To the sea [Dm] in the form of St.
Fran we [G] did run.
_ _ [Dm] _ To the setting [Bb] sun _ _ _ [E] on the long way [F]
home.
_ [Bb] _ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ I [F] woke up in [Dm] the canyons above the [G] lagoons.
_ [F] A trumpeted [Dm] tune echoed there was my [G] father. _
Though I was [Dm] still not grown I knew it was [G] almost time.
[Dm] _ To find another _ [D] pastime _ [C] on the long way [F] home. _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] So I packed up my [Dm] gun when I got on the plane. _ _
[F] A million [Bb] roads [Dm] far below me [G] like veins.
A one [Dm] capillary led to a drama I know.
_ [Dm] _ We played the cocktail lounge _ _ [C] on the long way [F] home.
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ [F] We're going back to [Dm] New England cause we're living on [G] the run.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ Now [F] we're going to [Dm] California to make us [G] a month. _
_ [F] Maybe one [Dm] day we'll make [G] Omaha home.
But for now the great [Bb] plane _
_ [E] forever will [F] roam. _
[Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] For thirty [Dm] five years I've been making the [G] trip. _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ [F] Sometimes I go [Dm] slow and sometimes [G] I go quick.
_ [F] Now mostly [Dm] I'm straight but there's times I was [G] stoned. _ _
[Dm] _ Burning that joint _ _ [E]
on the long way [F] home.
[Bb] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] There's times I [Dm] go east and there's times I go [G] west.
_ I [F] don't know which is [Dm] best I can never be [G] pleased.
_ _ [F] Someday [Dm] I'll go down the Pan American [G] Highway.
_ _ [Dm]
There was a promise we [Bb] made to [C]
go all the [F] way [Bb] south.
_ [Dm] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[D] Don't cry, someday we'll [Fm] be leaving.
_ _ [C] _ _ [Eb] _ Don't cry, [Dm] _ _ tomorrow [Fm] we're leaving. _
[C] _ _ [Eb] _ [C] East [Dm] side on the Pan [Fm] American Highway.
_ [C] _ _
[Eb] Long [C] _ [Dm] run all the way to [Fm] _ Argentina.
_ [E] _ _ _ _
