A E F#m A
We kept our parting connected by the same stretch of road
D A E
And I?m tired of packing round this heavy load
F#m A E A
It started out a stream but then the levee fell
D A E
When the rain maker had some extra seed to sell
Well I just thought id call and se what?s going on
Did the hill country flatten out since I?ve been gone
Are the fields all painted up in red and blue
Are you thinking of me the times I?m thinking of you
(Chorus)
D A
Well I just wanna drink ?til I?m not thirsty
E A
And I just wanna sleep ?til I?m not tired
D A A/F# E
I just wanna drive till I run out of money
F#m A E (Bridge)
I don?t wanna be no Romeo on the telephone wire
Could we dream up a reason for a rendezvous
Well the yanks are in town and we got nothing to do
The neighbors are gone and you?re feeling alone
You can?t kiss somebody on the telephone
Well did you go out last night and was it just a friend
Would you care if I showed up there at 6 AM
And drive all day with the top pulled down
We could stay in all night or we could paint the town
(Chorus)
I guess I?d better go now its getting too late
There?s a party downstairs and I thought I heard something break
I bid you goodnight and hope to see you soon
Maybe later on this afternoon
(Chorus)
