Intro
C G Am F x2
verse 1
C G
Rusty barbed wire lines these fields
Am F
Cloud of dust behind the wheels
C G Am F
Drifting like my mind into the rearview
C G
Jet trails cutting cross the sky
Am F
I'm rolling through the open wide
C G Am F
Searching for a song to drink beer to
C
And trying to find a place to disappear to
Chorus
C G
I light up the night and let it burn
Am
Lean back and watch the sundown fade
F
Do what I do and life's a little sideways
C G
I take a sip and say a prayer
Am
Wait for the shoe and start and stare
F
Off at the headlights on the highway
C G
That guy in the windshield looking back looks just like me
Am F
But there's a crack in the reflection
C
This is just a moonlight soaked, rain and smoke
G
Right hand on a cold one confession
C G Am F x2
verse 2
C G Am F
Embers in the ashtray glow like memories that won't let go
C G Am F
I'm out here trying to get untangled
C G
In the darkness on the edge of town
Am F
A little lost, a little found
C G Am F
Waiting on a call from an angel
Chorus
C G
I light up the night and let it burn
Am
Lean back and watch the sundown fade
F
Do what I do and life's a little sideways
C G
I take a sip and say a prayer
Am
Wait for the shoe and start and stare
F
Off at the headlights on the highway
C G
That guy in the windshield looking back looks just like me
Am F
But there's a crack in the reflection
C
This is just a moonlight soaked, rain and smoke
G C G Am F
Right hand on a cold one confession

Am
Lean back and watch the sundown fade

F
Off at the headlights on the highway

Always moving in the right direction

This is just a moonlight soaked, rain and smoke
