Lyrics
Come on, (Dm)ba by, let’s get out of this (C)town.
I got a (Dm)full tank of gas with the (C)top rolled down.
There’s a (Bb)chill in my bones, I don’t want to (Am)be left a (F)lone,
so, ba by, you can sleep while I drive.
I’ll pack my (Dm)bag and load up my gui tar.
In my (Dm)pock et I’ll car ry my harp.
I got some (Bb)mon ey I’ve saved, e nough to (Am)get un der (F)way,
and, (Bb)ba by, you can (F)sleep while I drive.
We’ll go through (Dm)Tuc son, up to San ta Fe,
and (Dm)Bar b’ra in Nash ville says we’re (C)wel come to stay.
I’ll buy you (Bb)glass es in Tex as, a hat from New Or (F)leans, and in the (Bb)morn ing you can (F)tell me your dreams.
You know I’ve (G7)seen it be fore, this mist that (F)cov ers your (C)eyes.
You’ve been (G7)look ing for some thing that’s (F)not in your life.
My in (Bb)ten tions are true, won’t you (Am)take me with (F)you?
And, (Bb)ba by, you can (F)sleep while I drive.
(Am)Oh,

The strang er, the (Bb)lov er, you’re free.
Can’t you (Am)get that with (F)me?
Come on, (Dm)ba by, let’s get out of this (C)town.
I got a (Dm)full tank of gas, with the (C)top rolled down.
If you won’t (Bb)take me with you, I’ll go be (Am)fore night is (F)through,
and, (Bb)ba by, you can (F)sleep while I drive.
