G         C
Hey, hey, Carla

       D           G
It's a long way to Missouri

B7        Em
From this highway

A7            D
East of Roanoke

G        C
We had a moment

D              G
That felt like summer

B7       Em
Now in slumber

A7              D
I can see your smile

G             C
We drive for miles

D                 G
Through corporate Ohio

B7                 Em
Rest stops in West Virginia

A7                   D
Traffic in Washington DC

    G
But of all the scenes that I see

      F
Played out this window to the left of me

C                    Cm
The thought of you it shines

G   C   C/B   Am   D         G
The band plays on, I keep the time

G               C
We play in the night time

D            G
Awake before sunrise

B7                  Em
Wipe the sleep from my eyes

A7             D
Coffee my best friend

G                 C
You dance between classes

D                 G
Complete difficult assignments

B7               Em
Wonder where the time went

    A7                 D
Out drinking with your friends

G              C
We see a lot of beauty

D            G
Some becomes ordinary

B7                         Em
Mountains, and canyons, and prairies

A7                    D
Sunset over Chesapeake Bay

G          C
Dear, dear Carla

D                  G
It's only that I'm askin'

B7                         Em
Make time more easy for the passin'

A7                        D
If I knew I would see you again

   G                      
Of all the beauty that I see

   F
Out this window to the left of me

C                       Cm
The thought of you it shines

G   C    C/B   Am  D          G
The band plays on, I keep the time

    C    C/B Am     D           G
The time is marked, between the lines

   C C/B Am   D          G
Hmmm...       I keep the time
