verse 1
G C
The windmills and the water tanks all stand on solid ground
D G
The country mailman mutters as he motors into town
C
The sunlight came, the sunlight went, the stars came out to see
D G
The way I laughed and the way I cried at the way you treated me
 
[Refrão]

The ocean babe is watered down but these plains are high and dry
D G
And though you've seen your share of dreams, you've never seen me cry
 
verse 2
G C
The windshield and the radio play sadly through the night
D G
A crazy blazin' fallin' star just passed me on the right
C
The tail lights down the highway fade low and out of sight
D Am D G
And that farmer's dog can only bark but this cold north wind can bite

And though you've seen your share of dreams, you've never seen me cry

G C
The windbreaks and the watersheds are growin' old this year

The moon breaks in a brand new song while I break in a tear

They say that all good things must end, they say what's done is done

And I guess I should be flyin' 'cause it's killin' me to run
