I drove my car in the middle of the night

Sylvia was working as a waitress in Beaumont

G

D

She said I'm moving away, I'm gonna get what I want

G

C

I'm tired of these small town boys, they don't move fast enough

G

D

G

I'm gonna find me one who wears a leather jacket and likes his living rough So she saved her tips and overtime and bought an old rusty car She sold most everything she had to make a brand new start She said I won't be needing these silly dresses and nylon hose 'Cause when I get to where I'm goin' I'm gonna buy me all new clothes

C

The night's too long

G

It just drags on and on

D

And then there's never enough

G

That's when the sun starts coming up

G7

C

Don't let go of her hand

G

C

You just might be the right man

D

C

D

C

She loves the night, she loves the night

G

Doesn't want it to end Well she works in an office now and she guesses the pay's alright She can buy a few new things to wear and still go out at night And as soon as she gets home from work, she wants to be out with the crowd Where she can dance and toss her head back and laugh out loud. Now the music's playing fast and they just met He presses up against her and his shirt's all soaked with sweat And with her back against the bar, she can listen to the band And she's holding a Corona and it's cold against her hand The night's too long It just drags on and on And then there's never enough That's when the sun starts coming up Don't let go of her hand You just might be the right man She loves the night, she loves the night Doesn't want it to end

All of my love has been taken for granted

I've been fair but you've been underhanded

I've been disgraced but I can't bear to face it

A

Cause the truth is my heart has been abandoned I was hoping for heaven but baby I ain't blind This ain't the first time I've been undermined Sad eyes and crooked smile that I remember well Now it looks like all I got is time to kill

You can't fool me, I see it in your eyes

A

You can't fool me, I see it in your eyes These boots are the same boots I was wearing then And this beer I'm drinkin' is still the same old brand But these blues are something new, they came around when I lost you And it looks like I got stuck with an empty hand You can't fool me, I see it in your eyes You can't fool me, I see it in your eyes Everything I thought we had has all been cast aside You can't fool me, I see it in your eyes You can't fool me, I see it in your eyes

Sun is hanging in the sky, sinking low and so am I

C

G

Just for the love of someone and a big red sun

C

G

How am I gonna lose these big red sun blues?

D

G

Big red sun, big red sun, big red sun blues True love to hold is worth everything Is worth more than gold, or any diamond ring But there's little diamonds and a heart that's been broken Are all I got from you, big red sun How am I gonna lose these big red sun blues? Big red sun, big red sun, big red sun blues

Look out at that western sky, hot over the open plains God only knows why this is all that remains But give me one more promise and another kiss And I guess the deal's still on you, big red sun How am I gonna lose these big red sun blues? Big red sun, big red sun, big red sun blues How am I gonna lose these big red sun blues? Big red sun, big red sun, big red sun blues

I changed the lock on my front door I changed the number on my phone So you can't call me up at home And you can't say those things to me That make me fall down on my knees I changed the number on my phone I changed the kind of car I drive So you can't see me when I go by And you can't chase me up the street And you can't knock me off of my feet I changed the kind of car I drive I changed the kind of clothes I wear So you can't find me anywhere And you can't spot me in a crowd And you can't call my name out loud I changed the kind of clothes I wear I changed the tracks underneath the train So you can't find me again And you can't trace my path And you can't hear my laugh I changed the tracks underneath the train

Am I too blue for you? Am I too blue?

Am I too blue?

Is it at your back? Have you had enough?

Do you miss my touch? Do you wanna stay?

G

Do you have so much still left to say? Am I too blue for you? Am I too blue? When I cry like the sky, like the sky sometime Am I too blue? When you're in the dark do ya call my name? Is there still a spark? Does it feel the same? The sun beats down, it burns your skin When you run into, my arms again Am I too blue for you? Am I too blue? When I cry like the sky, like the sky sometime Am I too blue?

If only for a minute or two I wanna see what it feels like to be without you I wanna know the touch of my own skin Against the sun, against the wind I walked out in a field, the grass was high, it brushed against my legs I just stood and looked out at the open space and a farmhouse out a ways And I wondered about the people who lived in it And I wondered if they were happy and content Were there children and a man and a wife? Did she love him and take her hair down at night? If I stray away too far from you, don't go and try to find me It doesn't mean I don't love you, it doesn't mean I won't come back and stay beside you It only means I need a little time To follow that unbroken line To a place where the wild things grow To a place where I used to always go La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la La la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la If only for a minute or two I wanna see what it feels like to be without you I wanna know the touch of my own skin Against the sun, against the wind
