C
Early one cold winter morning
F
i arise before the light
C
call up my friend, say lets go for a ride
F
you been sleeping all night
C
the pick-up truck it pulls up the road
F
I get in I say alright
C
I ask where we going, I say I don't know
F
just make sure you drive on the right
Chorus:
C-
now we can see how the day's gonna be
as down the highway we go
my trouble is gone, I'm singing this song
about the place where we're gonna go
Repeat Verse
crossing over the highway
my eyes start to close
my friend needs something to stay awake
so he searches the radio shows
the program host talks of war and peace
and other crazy politics
but next thing I know, we're watching it snow
getting gas at exit 106
Chorus
the sky turns pink and orange
above us appears a star
we descend into a small country town
walk into the local bar
I ask what beer do you have here
he say how much money you got,
I take out a fifty, he takes out some whiskey
and pours us each all a shot
Chorus
the engine starts the wheels are turning
the miles flying by once again
see a lonely farmer eating breakfast
with his dog his rooster and his hen
welcomes us to his property,
explains this is all I own
but I'm much richer than both you and he
cause there aint nothing bothering me boy
Chorus
back in the good old city,
cause it finally hit me
there are leaves on the trees and waves in the sea
some things just go naturally
the journey was long and tiring
but atleast now I know
sometimes there aint nothing I can do
but just get up and go
Chorus
