[Verse 1]
B
Heading west on the interstate
B7
Running 85 and gunning straight for the horizon
E
Wasn't sure what I could take
B
Only knew where I was heading no reason to regret it
E F# B
It was just a way I was passing some time
 
[Verse 2]
B
Bought some fuel and a caffeine charge
B7
Filled a bottle full of water cause it's only getting hotter
E
Talking weather every single hour
B
People who work in gas stations must love that conversation
E F# B
That must be a way that they pass their time I guess
E F# B B7
It must be nice to know that you never have to check
 
[Chorus 1]
E F# B B/A# G#m
But me I'm wishing I could properly tell you all about the things I saw
E F# B B/A# G#m
Between those yellow seas of blowing wheat and the way the Rocky Mountains sprawl
E F# B B/A# G#m
The way the river cut right through the stone to make a home between the canyon walls
E F# B
That could be a way we could pass some time I guess
 
[Verse 3]
B
And every day when the sun went to bed
B7
As the moon was taking over for the graveyard shift
E
I was trying hard to make some sense
B
Of the wind and the rhythm on the walls of my tent
E F# B
It was just a way I was passing time I guess
E F# B B7
But the truth is time really never went
 
[Chorus 2]
E F# B B/A# G#m
Too busy wishing I could properly tell you all about the things I saw
E F# B B/A# G#m
Between those yellow seas of blowing wheat and the way the Rocky Mountains sprawl
E F# B B/A# G#m
The way the river cut right through the stone to make a home between the canyon walls
E F# B B7
Oh that would be a way we could pass some time
 
[Chorus 3]
E F# B B/A# G#m
Instead I'm wishing I could properly tell you all about the things I saw
E F# B B/A# G#m
The way that desert stream ran to the sea and how it started at a glacial thaw
E F# B B/A# G#m
And how the light was playing on the water as the waves were crashing into the rocks
E F# B
That would be a way we could pass some time I guess
E F# B
We'll just have to take some more and go back again
