[Verse]
G
Well I dreamt that I saw Laura Wilson

C/G
In a vision like we were kids

G           G/F         Em
I tried to tell her I'm sorry

C/G                         D/F
For leaving the way that I did

G
I heard that she married a preacher

C/G
I saw her picture one time

G             G/F        Em
I knew I had nothing to offer

         A7        D7       G
For this life is a highway life
[Chorus]
C/G                     G
I'm getting to old for fairytale stories

C/G                      G
Lovers that live on the run

C/G                     G
Heroes that ride like lightning

G              G/F        D/F
Hit songs that never get sung

C/G                                G
If the hands on the clock worked backwards

C/G                                 G
I could right all the things I done wrong

G             G/F    Em
I'd stay with Laura Wilson,

       C/G      D/F    G
In the hills of Arkansas
[Verse]
G
Well theres something that I might do different

C/G
Some stories that I wouldnt change

G             G/F            Em
Some people I wish I'd known better

C/G                                D/F
Some nights that I just couldn't dream

G
I'd spend more time in the sunshine

C/G
Picking more traveling songs

G            G/F    Em
Laughing out loud, singing for crowds

            A7            D7       G
Instead of sitting here singing alone
[Chorus]
C/G                     G
I'm getting to old for fairytale stories

C/G                      G
Lovers that live on the run

C/G                    G
Heroes that ride like lightning

G              G/F         D
Hit songs that never get sung

C/G                                 G
If the hands on th clock worked backwards

C/G                                   G
I could right all the things I done wrong

G             G/F    Em
I'd stay with Laura Wilson,

      C/G        D/F    G
In the hills of Arkansas
[Verse]
G
Well theres places that I've seen in my lifetime

C/G
Some places I've never been

G               G/F             Em
Some places I'd love to go back to

C/G                         D
Some places I couldnt care less

G
Well all of the cities I've traveled

C/G
And all good people I've known

G                   G/F    
The lesson I've learned is

Em                    A7            D7           G
Memories burn all the feelings that lead me back home
[Chorus]
C/G                     G
I'm getting to old for fairytale stories

C/G                      G
Lovers that live on the run

C/G                     G
Heroes that ride like lightning

Hit songs that never get sung

C/G                                G
If the hands on the clock worked backwards

C/G                                 G
I could right all the things I done wrong

G             G/F    Em
