^Cadd9 Look^G off down the highway at the ^Cadd9glittering ^Glights ^Cadd9 Like^G windshield ^Eglass on the shoulder ^D4tonight As the d^Cadd9iesels come grinding on ^D4up from the ^Em7plains All b^Gunched up like pear^Cadd9ls on a string ^D4 And I guess ^Gtime don't mean nothin' Not n^Cadd9othin' at all ^G ^Cadd9 And o^Gut on the ^Em7horizon the broken stars f^D4all ^Cadd9 Old broken stars they fall ^D4down on the l^Em7and And g^Get mixed ^Cadd9together with the l^D4ights of Chey^Genne

VERSE 2

^Cadd9 Well I've^G been up all night and I'm ^Cadd9down on my ^Gback ^Cadd9 W^Gorkin' the c^Em7ounter to take up the ^D4slack Cause the m^Cadd9oney tree's light and the ^D4whiskey stream's ^Em7low You ^Gain't worked a ^Cadd9week since July ^D4 You say the g^Gravel pit's hiring ^Cadd9After the ^Gfirst ^Cadd9 But you ^Gdon't have the ^Em7nature for that kind of ^D4work You^Cadd9 might get hired on But you ^D4won't make a ha^Em7nd And I'll ^Gstill be here ^Cadd9lookin' at the ^D4lights of Chey^Genne

^Cadd9 We g^Go on good behavior when our ^Cadd9youngest comes ^Ghome ^Cadd9 She ^Gcomes up from ^Em7Boulder but she never stays ^D4long And that ^Cadd9oldest still fights me like ^D4she was 1^Em78 Stopped^G in for a 6-pack^Cadd9 awhile ago ^D4 And she's got a c^Gowboy problem And this ^Cadd9last one's a ^Gsight ^Cadd9 All ^Gdressed up like ^Em7Gunsmoke for Saturday n^D4ight And they were ^Cadd9off to the bars for ^D4lack of a pla^Em7n ^GRacing the ^Cadd9stars to the ^D4lights of Chey^Genne

^Cadd9 And you've ^Gkept all that meanness ^Cadd9inside you so ^Glong ^Cadd9 You'd ^Gfight with a ^Em7fence post if it looked at your ^D4wrong Well the ^Cadd9post won't hit back, and it ^D4won't call the ^Em7law I l^Gook at your right, or I d^Cadd9on't look at all^D4 Now take a ^Gcrumpled up soft pack and^Cadd9 give it a ^Gshake ^Cadd9 O^Gut by the ^Em7dumpster on a cigarette ^D4break With ^Cadd9one eye swelled up from the ^D4back of your ^Em7hand And the ^Gother eye ^Cadd9fixed on the ^D4lights of Chey^Genne
