intro strummin' G
Out on the Trans-Canada highway
DO
there was a girl hitchhikin' with a dog
RE
fireflies buzzin' 'round her head
SOL
like candles in a fog
He was three miles down the road
DO
tryin' to stay up but he knew that he couldn't
RE
she was looking for a ride through the night
SOL
but out there who wouldn't
LAm
There were bound for glory, bound for livin' on the edge
RE
they were bound for each other
SOL
like two comets headin' for a bed
LAm
She had a new way of livin, new way of lookin' at life
RE
he had an '84 International and two kids
DO SOL
he left back home with his wife
(waylon sings-same chords)
He was tired of writing letters to himself
and living in the dark
She was open to suggestions
and some say she had a broken heart
He had everything he wanted
till it all turned out to be a job
One fallen asleep trucker
and a girl hitchhikin' with a dog
(same as previous chorus)
There were bound for glory, bound for livin' on the edge
they were bound for each other,
like two comets headin' for a bed
She had a new way of livin, new way of lookin' at life
he had an '84 International and two kids
he left back home with his wife
(Go up a full step to A)
LA
Out on the Trans-Canada highway
RE
the sun cam climbin' up the cab
MI
by the time it hit the window
LA
they were waking up from what little sleep they had
When that heat hit the blankets
RE
They were looking for love at second sight
MI
Just starin' in each other's eyes
LA
findin' it in the morning light
SIm
There were bound for glory, bound for livin' on the edge
MI
they were bound for each other,
LA
like two blankets laying on a bed
SIm
She had a new way of livin, new way of lookin' at life
MI
he had an '84 International and two kids
RE LA
he left back home with his wife
