I didn't take a suitcase
Gadd9
I had to travel light
Gadd9
I climbed out my bedroom window
Gadd9
It was just about, quarter past midnight
[Verse 2]
D
Out on the highway
G
I hitched a ride, I was heading west
D
I had to listen to some trucker
G
Tell me all about the meaning of life
D
Got a ride just outside of Memphis
G
I was wild out on the road
D
I saw shanties and shacks and burned out Cadillac's
G
And faces that glittered like gold
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A
Shoulda seen it coming
G
Shoulda seen the signs
A
I saw seven horses running
G N.C.
I had a front row seat at the end of time
[Chorus]
D
I was just fifteen
G
And the world was mine
D
And I watched my dreams
A
Come to life on that night
G
I saw Elvis in Vegas
Bm
I saw Elvis in Vegas
[Verse 3]
D
Now since that long lost summer
G
I ain't ever looked back
Bm
Now the lines on my face
A
Are looking more like cracks
D
When the dreams all crumble
G
It's time to face the facts
Bm
I don't care about tomorrow
G
Oh, there's no looking back
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A
I shoulda seen it coming
G
I shoulda seen the signs
A
I saw seven horses running
G
I had a front row seat at the end of time
[Chorus]
D
I was just fifteen
G
And the world was mine
D
And I watched my dreams
A
Come to life on that night
D
I was standing tall
G
Thought I would never die
D
And I watched it all
A
In the white spotlight
G
I saw Elvis in Vegas
Bm

D
When the lights went out
G
I heard the young girls scream
D
The sound of my heartbeat
G N.C.
Would make the thunder proud
[Chorus]

I was just fifteen

And the world was mine

And I watched my dreams

Should I come back again?
Gadd9
Tell me dear
Gadd9
Are you lonesome tonight?
