[Verse 1]
C G
It sure is hot, she said
C G
As she was countin out my change
C G
But I'd give back the air
D
If I could get back simpler days
C G
I traded her a smile
C G
For my change and a case of beer
C G D
I told her, simple's what I'm lookin for around here
[Chorus]
C G
I'm wanderin round and round
D G
These two-lane Midwest towns
C G
Lookin for some answers
D
In the evenin cricket sounds
C G
Tunin in cicada buzz
C G
Tunin out the FM fuzz
C G D
Thirty miles and hour with the windows down
C
Through a two-lane Midwest town
[Solo]
C G D G C G D D
[Verse 2]
C G
Pull tabs and a glass of crown
C G
About a hundred dollars down
C G
Old man sits down next to me
D
And orders up a round
C G
Says he lost his wife last year
C G
But his kids are all still here
C G D
And every day at three he drops in for a can of beer
[Chorus 2]
C G
I'm wanderin round and round
D G
These two-lane Midwest towns
C G
Lookin for some answers
D
In the evenin barroom sounds
C G
Tunin in neon fuzz
C G
Tunin out the TV buzz
C G D
Thirty miles and hour with the windows down
C
Through a two-lane Midwest town
[Solo]
C G D G C G D D
[Verse 2]
C G
Green to yellow and back to red
C G
Paper map and a poundin head
C G
I could go one home or stay right here
D
Or move on up ahead
[Bridge]
C G
There might be someone out there sittin on a park bench
C G
With a puzzle piece, hidden in a word,
C G D
That helps this world make sense
[Chorus]
C G
I'm wanderin round and round
D G
These two-lane Midwest towns
C G
Lookin for some answers
D
In the evenin cricket sounds
C G
Tunin in cicada buzz
C G
Tunin out the FM fuzz
C G D
Thirty miles and hour with the windows down
Through a two-lane Midwest
C G
Round and round
D G
These two-lane Midwest towns
C G
Lookin for some answers
D
In the evenin cricket sounds
C G
Tunin in cicada buzz
C G
Tunin out the FM fuzz
C G D
Thirty miles and hour with the windows down
C
Through a two-lane Midwest town
