Karla Bonoff
as recorded by Bonnie Raitt on the album Sweet Forgiveness 1977
3/4 time
1 2- 4 1
Travelin at night the headlites were brite
1 1 5 5
And we^Òd been up many an hour
1 2- 4 1
All thru my brain came the refrain
1 5 1 1
Of Home and it^Òs warmin fire
1 1 4 1
And Home sings me of sweet things
1 1 5 5
My life there has it^Òs own wings
1 1 4 1
Fly over the mountain
#2/#6 4/6 5 5 [note in C: #2=D# #6=A#]
Tho I^Òm standin still
The people I^Òve seen they come in between
The cities of tiring light
and the trains come and go but inside you know
The struggle^Òll soon be a fite
Chorus
Travelin at nite the headlites were brite
And soon the sun came thru the trees
Around the next bend the flowers will send
The sweet smell of home in the breeze
Chorus
