Joey and me were out on the freeway

Leaving the city race

Out of the hustle, into the country

Searching for open space

Shoulder to shoulder, mile for mile

               D  G    C
But neither of us knew where

G           D     G   C         G
Sleeping at night out under the stars

Inhaling the mountain air

Often we talked of wasting our time

And bridges that we had crossed

    G         D      G  C           G  
But mostly we looked in vain for ourselves

                D  G    C
Forgetting that we were lost

G        D  G    C        G
Joey and me were two of a kind

                 D   G C
In love with our own ideals

G         D    G   C         G
Aiming to keep the gathering years

                 D  G    C
In pace with our rolling wheels

  How me and Joey didn't belong

The wilderness road had taken its toll

               D G   C
I knew I could never last

    G              D    G    C         G
The lines had gone down in a flurry of snow

               D  G  C
The winter was on us fast

  G           D    G C      G D
I made my way back into the city

G            D   G   C
Hitched to a guiding star
