         D                G
When the time gets right,

          D           C
I'm gonna pick you up

             D        C
And take you far away,

     D
from trouble, my love

G           D       G
Under a big ol' sky,

         D              C
out in a field of green

              D            C
There's gotta be something,

         D
left for us to believe

    G  D        C
Oh, I await the day,

     G       D         C
good fortune comes our way

       Em*           D         C D G
And we ride down the Kings Highway

G D Dsus4 2x G

       D              G
No you can't hide out,

     D            C
in a six gun town

         D                 C
We wanna hold our heads up,

       D
but we gotta stay down

G             D      G
I don't wanna end up,

     D             C
in a room all alone

Don't wanna end up someone,

       D
that I don't even know

    G  D        C
Oh, I await the day,

     G       D         C
good fortune comes our way

And we ride down the Kings Highway
