Drivin' All Night Long
View chords used in this chart
D Bm
The full moon's glowin out so bright
G D
It's light out on the highway
D Bm
I can't hear the engine
G D
For the wheels out on the road
D Bm
The wind is blowin freezin'
G D
But it keeps my eyes wide open
D Bm G A D
It's 3AM and driving's for them hauls a heavy load
[Refrão] G D
But I got to tell her that I'm sorry
G D
And I got to tell her I was wrong
Bm D
And I got to show her I still love her
G A D G
But I've been driving all night long
A hundred miles from nowhere
There are houses on the highway
Empty in the dark
A place that someone once called home
But maybe they put sheets on chairs
And tables like the movies
But I know that in real life
They're as empty as my soul
Chorus
Bridge:
Bm
But if I fell
G
I'd turn my wheel
A D
Into that semi comin
Bm
But I know well
G
That there's a man in there
Em A
Just trying to get home
G D
And waitin up and worrying
Em D
Is the one who loves him dearly
G
But I ain't thinkin clearly
A D
I've been drivin all night long
Solo
People think I'm lazy
And I'm scared to just stop running
People think I'm crazy
And I don't know that she's gone
But I know that I got two hundred miles
To make 'fore morning
But I don't think too much
Cause I've been driving all night long
