Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
AmFive-hundred miles from the Mexican border GThe days getting shorter, the nights getting colder FHard by the highway he leans on her shoulder EA little bit tired and a little bit older
[Verse 1]
AmThe days keep on running down through the seasons GRunning like prairie fire, wild with no reason FThe Devil's to pay for the moments he's seizing EStill nothing is lost that's left to believe in
[Verse 2]
AmHe's got little to lose and his only companions GAre the liquor that he loves, the rambling and the gambling FThe coyote answers from back in the canyon EHungry for more than plain understanding
[Verse 3]
AmSometimes it gets hard, sometimes it's amusing GWhen kindness repaid is just an illusion FWhen blind men know best what to make of confusion EAnd dead men know nothing at all
[Verse 4]
AmStill he dreams of a lady who'll lay down beside him GHe prays for the day when the sweet Lord will guide him FTo one who might drain all the poison inside him ELet him hang up his boots with his traveling behind him
[Outro]
AmBut it's five-hundred miles from the Mexican border GThe days getting shorter, the nights getting colder FAs hard by the highway he leans on her shoulder EA little bit tired, a little bit older
