[Verse 1]
Am
After three hours at the wheel, I found myself beyond the borders of my experienceFrom there it was one alien world after another
Am
Ghost towns, painted deserts, hamburger stands, neon templesCanyons carved by patient rivers
A Am Craters gouged by giant hunks of rock flung from who knows where
The headlights quit somewhere around mile 400
A G Am But I drove on through the darksome night
Pedal down to the floor, windows wide
A G Am F Am Strange words repeating, repeating, repeating in my head G Am F Am I kept my eyes on the long white lines G And I drove like hell
[Instrumental]
Am Dm G Am Dm A Am
[Verse 2]
Am Above me shone a terrifying number of stars G Am Spelling out the cold indifference of the universe A I tried to stare at the road ahead G Am I saw a huge storm far off on the horizon C Dark and crawling with lightning G Am Just looking at that churning mass
Set in all that immense emptiness
C Am Made me feel something I'd never felt before C Am Something between awestruck and horrified
I kept my eyes on the long white lines
And I laughed like hell
[Chorus]
F Dm E Am I'm gonna leave that city far behind and get a long, long way from there F Dm Em Am I've got a burning feeling deep inside of me, and don't know where to put it F Dm E Am Now that I've left that place, I feel like someone for the first time in my life C A Am C Am Dm Gm Am Dm Am You don't remember what I said, but you'll remember what I did
[Verse 3]
A I found no solace on the radio C G Am Nothing but crackpots and static A Am UFOs and white noise C G Am Scripture and garbled frequencies C I tried to switch it off, but the dial snapped in my fingers A Am A Am The volume lodged at a distorted maximum A Am F So loud, I never even heard the sirens Am A Am F Am I gripped the wheel and stomped the pedal A Am F Am I said a meaningless prayer through my gritted teeth F Am I kept my eyes on the long white lines G A Am I laughed like hell
[Chorus]
F Dm E Am I'm gonna leave that city far behind and get a long, long way from there F Dm Em Am I've got a burning feeling deep inside of me, and don't know where to put it F Dm E Am Now that I've left that place, I feel like someone for the first time in my life C Am C A Am You don't remember what I said, but you'll remember what I did
[Post-Chorus]
Am
I sure like the feeling of an endless road(My life is still a tale untold)
A Am I gotta stop believing in a long-gone past
(If nothing stays forever, who laughs last?)
A Am I sure like the feeling of an endless road
(I'm tired of doing what I'm told)
A Am I know that life is fleeting, and it all goes fast A Am C (If no-one lives forever, who laughs last?)
[Outro]
Am C G Am C G Who laughs last? Am A Am Who laughs last?
