Verse 1.

C Am F C

Met on an interstate bound for Carolina

Am C F C

It sure is hard to get there but your soul knows the way

C Am F C

She had the gift of tongue, laurels and medals

Am C F C

He gave up that life long before today

Chorus 1.

G F C

She was fourteen years old

Am F C C/B

He was barely a man

Am G F

Now she's pickin' up her life

G C FF C FF

An' he sings in the band

Verse 2.

Her eyes light up the night like itty bits of sequin

She likes his face, a story of its own

Company's a fright, lonely in Manhattan

Waiting for a savior or to see his show

Chorus 2.

She grew out her hair

Says she wants to be a star

It's a long road to Heaven

From the backseat of a car

C FF C C/B

Change:

Am G/B F C

A dancer, a poet, a living existential

Am F C C/B

Nothing St. Estephe cannot save

Am G/B F C

One can escape from running in circles

Am F G

Promises die in the grave

Verse 3.

Night they finally spent, Winona Minnesota

A pretty face was born here, the ugly pass away

Holy is the magic in this life or after

Romance is a stranger, lets a lover stay

Chorus 3.

Now she's twenty years old

An' she's found another man

Now she's lookin' back on life

And he sings in the band

C FF C FF C

Great road trippin tune to sing along to or play along to.
