E
After three nights in jail, I head north from Toyaville

A
Switch to 285 in Pecos, head up to Red Bluff

E
My walk's real steady and my eyes are real cold

E
When I feel like I'm only sixteen years old

A
Lost in a travel lodge

                                    E
With the television on with the sound down

E
I don't feel so tough

Am           B                E
Old issues of sunset magazine to read

                    Am  B
Sleep for twelve hours

                E
Dream about home

E
I have no place to go

E
So I drive up to New Mexico

A
Fix my eyes in the rearview when I cross the stateline

E
And I panic I guess

E
And although it's quite late

E
I take the first exit to 128

A                                              E
I am coming back to Midland and I hope you won't mind

E
Polaroids of the two of us

Am              B
Scattered on the passenger seat

              E           Am  B
I drive slowly and eat early

                      E
And I dream about home
