Intro: D Bm x4
D Bm D Bm Ward Bond, was his sidekick Rowdy Yates? D Bm D Bm Drove that wagon train out West, right along this interstate G Em G Em Cross the high plains of Kansas to the Colorado line D Bm D Bm Spent a lot of sleepless nights 'round the campfire, they had mountains on their minds D Bm D Bm Those high plains people, they're different somehow D Bm D Bm You spent your life leaning into a hard wind, I guess you're less likely to take a bow G Em G Em All these stories buried out here, they're calling to me D Bm D Bm Like the earthquakes in California like the hills back in Tennessee A Em - D/F# - G I gotta circle back, touch something near D A Em - D/F# - G Find out which way to go to get on out of here A Bm - G I lost my thread and I've lost some time D A G (hold) D Bm x2 But it takes a lot of ground for me to, change my mind D Bm D Bm Well it's 99 in Topeka, the wind is blowin' hot D Bm D Bm Blowin through my oldest daughter's hair with everything else I forgot G Em G Em I drove her out to college, drove back through an empty space D Bm D Bm Thinkin' back to when she was a baby, tryin' hard to see that face A Em - D/F# - G I gotta circle back, touch something near D A Em - D/F# - G Find out which way to go to get on out of here A Bm - G I lost my thread and I've lost some time D A G (hold) D Bm x2 But it takes a lot of ground for me to, change my mind
(Solo over verse + chorus)
D Bm D Bm Two kids up and at 'em, one more left at home D Bm D Bm She's a spark plug, a real fire cracker, and in four years she'll be gone G Em G Em They just blow through your life, like the wind on the plains D Bm D Bm Like the dust that covers everything, 'til the rivers fill with rain A Em - D/F# - G I gotta circle back, touch something near D A Em - D/F# - G Find out which way to go to get on out of here A Bm - G I lost my thread and I've lost some time D A G (hold) D Bm x2 But it takes a lot of ground for me to, change my mind
