[BRIDGE]
       Eb                          Cm
I was driving doing nothing on the shores of Great Salt Lake

          Ab                         Cm            Bb
When they put it on the air I put it in the hammer lane

  Eb                          Cm
I soon forgot myself and I forgot about the brake

     Ab                          Cm            Bb
I forgot about all laws and I forgot about the rain

          Eb                         Cm
They were talking on the 9 and all across the amy band

           Ab                                Cm                Bb
Across the road they were turning around and headed south with me

           Eb                            Cm
It got so crowded on the road I started driving on the sand

   Ab                             Cm                Bb
My head was feeling scared but my heart was feeling free

    Eb                                 Cm
The desert turned to mud it seems that everybody heard

     Ab                         Cm               Bb
Everybody was remembering to forget they had the chills

       Eb                               Cm
Then I heard the voices on a broadcast from up on the bird

          Ab                               Cm                 Bb
They were getting interviewed by some Good man whose name was Bill

    Eb                                  Cm
I'm almost there to Vegas where they're puttin' on a show

                Ab                                Cm
They've come so far I've lived this long at least

       Bb           Eb    Cm Ab Cm Bb (fade)
I must go and say hello.
