She's got whiskey on her breath, smoke in her curls

Hands holding cigarettes and faces you don't know

The sun coming up is just a sixty watt light 
      C                   ~ 
Maybe leave this town and leave this life 
Am                      F 
Get in your car and you start to drive 


        C                        ~ 
There's boarded up buildings and places you've never been 
Am                          F 
Cars on the interstate that never seem to end 
   C                       ~ 
It all flies away with the wave of your hand

Like birds over water trying to find land
