        Dm                              Cadd9
Come on baby, let's get out of this town

        Dm                         Cadd9
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down

          Bb                                 Am        F
There's a chill in my bones, I don't want to be left alone

   Bb           F                  Cadd9
so baby you can sleep while I drive

             Dm                     Cadd9
I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar

      Dm                       Cadd9
In my pocket I'll carry my harp

           Bb                          Am       F
I got some money, I've saved enough to get underway

    Bb           F                  Cadd9
and baby you can sleep while I drive
[Verse]
                 Dm                   Cadd9
We'll go through Tucson up to Santa Fe

    Dm                              Cadd9
and Barb'ra in Nashville says we're welcome to stay

             Bb                      Am          F
I'll buy you glasses in Texas, a hat from New Orleans

           Bb               F                 Cadd9
and in the morning you can tell me your dreams

              G7                             F           C
You know I've seen it before, this mist that covers your eyes

            G7                           F           C
You've been looking for something that's not in your life

     Bb                           Am           F
My intentions are true, won't you take me with you?

    Bb           F                  Cadd9
and baby you can sleep while I drive
[Instrumental] Dsus Dm C Cadd9 C Dsus Dm C Cadd9 C [Verse]
Am  G   C
Oh- ho- oh, is it other arms you want to

Am  G7  G   C                      Bb
ho- o- old you, the stranger, the lover you're free

          Am            F
Can't you get that with me?

        Dm                            Cadd9
Come on baby, let's get out of this town

           Dm                        Cadd9
I've got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down

             Bb                          Am            F
If you won't take me with you, I'll go before night is through

    Bb           F                  Cadd9
And baby you can sleep while I drive
