Intro: G D G C   G D G Am 
  
G        D  G    C          G   D 
Joey and me were out on the freeway 
G           D G   C 
Leaving the city race 
G          D  G    C        G   D 
Out of the hustle, into the country 
G             D G  C 
Searching for open space 
G           D    G    C        G 
Shoulder to shoulder, mile for mile 
               D  G    C 
But neither of us knew where 
G           D     G   C         G 
Sleeping at night out under the stars 
             D   G    C 
Inhaling the mountain air 
  
  

Am              
Under the open skies 
G 
Living in paradise 
C                D 
Joey and me were free 
Am 
Nobody else allowed 
G 
Anyone more's a crowd 
C                 D      D-D-D-D 
Joey and me makes three 
  
  
G        D      G  C           G 
Often we talked of wasting our time 
                 D  G   C 
And bridges that we had crossed 
    G         D      G  C           G   
But mostly we looked in vain for ourselves 
                D  G    C 
Forgetting that we were lost 
G        D  G    C        G 
Joey and me were two of a kind 
                 D   G C 
In love with our own ideals 
G         D    G   C         G 
Aiming to keep the gathering years 
                 D  G    C 
In pace with our rolling wheels
