[Verso 1] D G Maybe we were running toward the mountains D G For their beauty, serenity and grace D G Or maybe we were running from the prairie D G That kept blowing dust in our face Em D Either way we knew we had to fly Em D We were drowning in the bluestem and the mud Em D We were gonna chase that Rocky Mountain high Em A And wed get there any way that we could [Refrão] C G It was a black Honda shadow, C G Tail pipes loud like thunder C Em D G We were riding fast enough to outrun the cloud we were under C G Two-up on that shadow Em G A little tent and some pocket change C Em D G We pointed that bike toward the west and burned across the plains C G As the Rockies rose before us C G Our spirits rose up like a phoenix C Em D G When the Kansas clay gets in your soul theres just one way to clean it Em G D Em You said if we survived that ride we could last through anything G Now its 20 years later D G And youre right here next to me [Verso 2] D G Today I no longer have that shadow D G Sold it to some guy I didnt know D G Theres some things in life we just outgrow D G When we got kids and jobs and shit ya know Em D But sometimes I think back and smile Em D Jet black paint and shiny chrome Em D And I think about the thousands of miles Em A That we travelled till we realized we were home [Ponte] C G We thought we knew our destination C G But the highway had in mind another fate C G And when we came up on the crossroads Em D We hit the gas and kept on going strait C G And I dont know, where those other paths would take us C G What lies to the left or to the right C G But I got memories of an old black Honda shadow Em D And I got you with me tonight [Refrão] C G It was a black Honda shadow, C G Tail pipes loud like thunder C Em D G We were riding fast enough to outrun the cloud we were under C G Two-up on that shadow Em G A little tent and some pocket change C Em D We pointed that bike toward the west and burned across the plains C G As the Rockies rose before us C G Our spirits rose up like a phoenix C Em D G When the Kansas clay gets in your soul theres just one way to clean it Em G D Em You said if we survived that ride we could last through anything G Now its 20 years later D G And youre right here next to me
