[Am]
[G]
After three nights in jail, I head north from Toyaville.
[Am] Switch to 285 in Pecos, head [G] up to Red Bluff.
My walk's real steady and my eyes are real cold,
but I feel like I'm only sixteen years old.
[Am] Lost in a travelodge with the television on,
with [G] the sound down, I don't feel so tired.
[C] Old [D] issues of Sunset [G] Magazine to read, sleep for [C] twelve hours,
[D] dream [G] about home.
[Am]
[G]
I have no place to go, so I drive up to New Mexico.
[A] Fix my eyes in the rear view when I cross [G] the state line,
and I panic I guess, although it's quite late.
Take the first exit to 128, I [Am] am coming back to Midland.
[D] I hope you [G] won't mind,
[D] [C] four roids [D] of the two of us,
[G] scattered on the passenger seat.
I [C] drive slowly [G] and easily, and I dream about home.
