Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Side of the [G]highway[C]
rain pouring [G]down[D]
and i can't remember where i was
[C]headed to [G]now
red stone on the dashboard
[C]and my head in the clouds[G][D]
i get in my lane
and baby i don't [C]want to get out

[Interlude 1]
[C][G]

[Verse 2]
you can't take it for [G]granted[C]
when you feel this [G]alive[D]
give a nod to the crosses
all [C]along the [G]roadside
and it's hard to imagine
i didn't want to [C]learn how to [G]drive[D]
roll down the window now
just [C]to let in the sky

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][Dm]

[Verse 3]
radio [C]on and my left foot tap[G]pin
[Dm]the things i k[C]now and the things
i ima[G]gine[Dm]
the people i [C]see in the cars i'm [G]passin
[Dm]the rearview mir[C]ror and
the red light [G]flashin
oh [F]please lord don't let
it hap[C]pen

[Verse 4]
[G]
sunlight on the the [C]canyon
thin layer [G]of snow[D]
a bullet hole in a motel window
and a [C]burning mobile [G]home
and the wheel in your hand
[C]is the only thing you control
[G]and[D] the worlds just
whippin on past you
like [C]a line of telephone poles

[Interlude 3]
[G][C]
[G][D][C][G][C]
[G][D][C][G]
[Dm]

[Verse 5]
the [C]gasoline in the air i'm [G]breathin
[Dm]the things i d[C]oubt and
the things i [G]believe in
[Dm]the feeling you [C]have when its
more than [G]a feel[Dm]ing
the city i [C]trust and the city i'm [G]leavin
yeah [F]maybe we just call it [C]even

[Verse 6]
[G]
theres a crack in my [C]windshield
and i'm hoping it hold[G]s[D]
theres a crack in everything
i [C]hold close to my [G]soul
and the woman I'm next [C]to
she'll never get [G]old[D]
i'll never forget you on amer[C]ican roads
