[G]
After three nights in jail, I head north from Toya Vale,
head up [G] to Red Bluff.
My walk's real steady and my eyes are real cold,
[Am] Lost in a travel lodge,
sound down, I don't feel so tough.

_ _ _ _ After three nights in jail, I _ head north from Toya Vale,
[Am] Switch to 285 in Pecos, head up [G] to Red Bluff. _ _ _ _
My walk's real steady and my eyes are real cold,
But I feel like I'm only 16 years old, [Am] Lost in a travel lodge,
With the television [G] on, with the sound down, I don't feel so tough. _
[C] _ Old [D] issues of Sunset [G] Magazine, _ _ To read, sleep [D] for [C] 12 hours,
_ [D] _ _ _ Dream about [G] home, _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I have no place to go,
_ Drive up to New Mexico, [A] _ Fix my eyes in the rear view,
When I [G] cross the state line, _ _ _ _ And I panic I guess,
Although it's quite late, I take the first exit to 128,
I [Am] am coming back to Midland, [D] I hope you won't [G] mind,
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[C] _ Poor roids of the [D] two of us, _ [G] _
_ Scattered on the passenger seat,
I [C] drive slowly [G] and deeply, And I dream about home. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
