Listing To The Am
View chords used in this chart
Capo on 1st fret
E
I pulled out of Charleston West Virginia
A
In the middle of the night
E
I made it down to Nashville town
B7
When the sun was shining bright
E
I?m headed out west on a four day run
A
And I?ve got to make pretty good time
E
I gotta make a living livin?
B7 E
My life chasing down a broken white line
A B7 E
So I ride this road and I try to get where I?m going
A B7 E
A cup of coffee and thoughts of home are all that help
A B7 C#m
And I?ll spend another midnight early morning
E B7 E
Listening to the AM and talking to myself
Now Kingman Arizona?s
Just three hundred miles away from old LA
And I stopped to take a nap in Flagstaff
But I?ve still got to drive all day
And when the sun sets out
On the desert you never seen such a beautiful sight
But at two AM in the desert man
You never seen a blacker night
Chorus
Well I made it ino LA
Just about the time I swore I had to get off the road
And I checked in to a motor inn
I turned the air condition way down cold
I slept all day then I woke up around about ten PM
I grabbed a bite to eat at a little café
Then I hit the road again
