  			G 
Up in the mountains of San Isabella 
                             D 
So high I looked down on the moon 
D 
Stars fell below me, I was so close to heaven 
                              G 
But I knew the sun would come soon 
    G 
And light one more day 
G7                        C  
Alone on the highway with just a dream 
   G                        D  
Of finding that certain someone 
   C            G 
To set my heart free 
 

C                     Am                   G   
I saw her face in the sun coming up in New Mexico 
C                      D                        G 
I heard her voice in a river that ran through Durango 
C                  Am                            G     Em 
She has a way that I’ve never known but I cannot forget 
C                  D        C       D                 G 
She is everywhere around me, I just haven’t found her yet 
 
 
The fog of early morning was still clouding my mind 
In this café around Raton 
I thought I saw her in the eyes of a stranger 
But when I turned around she was a gone 
Left a tip on the table 
And walked out of that café with a smile 
I know that I’ll find her 
It’s all just a matter of miles 
 
Chorus
