                 F                            C
I slipped on her shoe, she was a perfect size seven

                                  Am
I said "There's no smokin' in the store ma'am."

G                        F
She crossed her legs and then

             F                                      C
We made some small talk that's where it should have stopped

                   Am      G              F
She slipped me her number, I put it in my pocket

                       F                            C
My hand slipped up her skirt, everything slipped my mind

               Am         F    G       C
In that little roadhouse... On Highway 29

                    F             C
It was a small town bank it was a mess

       Am        G            F
Well I had a gun you know the rest

                  F      
Money on the floorboards, shirt was covered in blood

            C                     Am            F    G       C       
And she was cryin', her and me we headed south... On Highway 29

                     Am                      F
In a little desert motel the air was hot and clean

                         C              G
I slept the sleep of the dead, I didn't dream

              Am                             F
I woke in the morning, washed my face in the sink

                   C                               G
We headed into the Sierra Madres 'cross the border line

           F                          C
The winter sun shot through the black trees

                                      Am
I told myself it was all something in her

          G                                F
But as we drove I knew it was something in me

                      F                      C
Something that'd been comin' for a long long time

                       Am                F    G       C
And something that was here with me now... On Highway 29
F C Am G F F C Am G F
                                F             C
The road was filled with broken glass and gasoline

                  Am      G              F
She wasn't sayin' nothin', it was just a dream

                                 F
The wind come silent through the windshield

                          C
All I could see was snow, sky and pines

                           Am        G
I closed my eyes and I was runnin'

                         F
I was runnin' then I was flyin'
F C Am G F F
