Burned it down once

 Little yellow house

With a cross on the door

Don't live there no more

There was no sign of a struggle

Looks like they just got into their car

Without so much as a word to

Anyone of us

Without so much as a word to

Anyone of us

Times I dream that I'm the one who is driving away

C                                        D            C
I don't know where I'm going but it's a long ways away

             G                       D            Em
Going down some country road with the hay growing tall

C         G                D             Em
Beautiful trees in all the colors of the fall

C          G       B7            C
All that I need is right with me here

                  G           D     Em
And I drive and I drive until I disappear

      C           G           D     G
And I drive and I drive until I disappear
[Outro] N.C. Then I remember all those promises I made N.C. All the ones depending on me N.C. And so here is where I stay
