Lyrics

(try capoing up 3)
G d am g d
Plane comes down on the old runway, home again for a week I'll stay
G d am g d
Hanging out like I used to do, hope to find some old friends I knew
G d am g d
Hear the news in the honky tonk, who got married, yes, and who split up g
D am g d
Drinking beer while the jukebox plays, brand new songs for brand new days
C g d am
Quiet nights and empty streets, sleepy town, humble home
C g d
Same old waltz in the wind, by the railroad track
G d am g d
Riding out to a country bridge, moonlight shining across the ridge
G d am g
Frozen trees neath a billion stars, 7 friends jammed in robby's car
C g d am
High as kites and wild and gone, drunk as well and laughing loud
C g d
Back at home I say good night (good night) and I close the door
G d am g
Sunday morning the church bell rings, the organ plays and the choir
D g d am
Sings. where am I while the preacher speaks? dreaming dreams neath
G d
My sheets asleep
C g d am c
Waking up and trying to think, what went down, what'd we do? I rub
G d
My eyes and I shake my head and feel the sun
G d am g
Plane takes off on the old runway, snow fell light on the ground
D g d am g
Today lost an hour that I gained before, headed back to my new york
D g d am d
Door. fare thee well, adios, adieu and best of luck to all of you i
G d am
Ain't no saint and I don't pretend to be, but I hope you all found a g
D
Friend in me
C g d am
City lights blink and shine, down below, let it change
C g d
It's often said that life is strange, oh yes, but compared to what?

(Yeah) g d am
