[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G
That old highway down to Memphis late last night
C
Was a lonely time to kill
D
We just drove through Little Rock
G
And you've only been on my mind since Nashville
As I lay my head down on the bed in the back
C
I hear that turbo diesel whine
D
In my dreams you're kissing me
G
As we cross the Texas line
[Verse]
G
We've got a show tonight in Dallas
C
I think we hit the stage around midnight
D
I sure hope the band is cooking
G
I want to leave those Texans feeling right
Then we head out for the West Coast they say that it's the best coast
C
But I don't think that's true
D
But tonight it doesn't matter much
G
All I ever think about is you
[Chorus]
C D
So hold on darling don't let this dream die
G C
I'm gonna love you long after all the oceans turn dry
D
With my heart in my hand I'll be standing at your door
G C
Your traveling man will never leave you any more
D Em
Your traveling man has come to take you away
[Instrumental] (x2)
G,C,D,G
[Verse]
G
L.A. was a bust they never had much time for us
C
I guess they were busy with the O.J. show
D
I don't think too much about it now
G
Won't be long before we're back in the land of the snow
We've got two nights in San Francisco
C
Then it's off to Colorado it's a good thing I was born to roam
D
It was colder up in Boulder but we got the warmest shoulder
G
Made these blues boys feel at home
[Verse]
G
Then its north by northwest to the land I know the best
C
North of the 49
D
Soon I'll be heading in your direction
G
Won't be long before you're in these arms of mine
[Chorus]
C
So be my shot gun rider
D Em
Protect me from the cold and the pain
C D
Come on hold me darling
Em
We're together again
