Well you're growing tired and it's getting late
A F#m
Those fiery eyes, they radiate

Just rolling around when the smoke is rising high

And the river's dry on the 88
A F#m
And you wear those miles upon your face

Just follow the moon 'til she hides on the mountainside
[Refrão]

So come on down
E
Out to the middle of the strangest town
D
I'll love you this morning and I'll love you now
A E
Daylight and fireside
A
And when the highland burns
E
Up and away we're gonna make it work
D
Sunshine and rain, I'll just take in turns

I'm staying by your side

Open your eyes to the radio

While I'm on my back and you're on the go

Let the song of the bluejay sing those blues away

There's no going back to the ways we know
A F#m
All the exits passed us long ago
E A E
Just growing the love that we found in a younger day
[Refrão]
