Don't shoot me I'm the messenger
Am C
Driving that ten ton to get my cargo in
G D
Lay your weapons on the floor, darlin
Am C
Do you remember what we're fighting for
Em C
When the pink time comes, I'll be right there,
G D
Down by the bay, where the jack pines sway
Em C
You'll be by my side and remember me
G D
When the sun lays down, and we'll call it a day
G D
And I drive long haul, all week long, one day
Am C
I got home but you were all but gone
G D
I won't let you go even though you don't know me
Am C
But what became of us, you're gone endlessly
Em C
When the pink time comes, I'll be right there,
G D
Right there by your side, Down by the bay.
Em C
And we'll dance real slow, while the jack pines sway
G D
When the sun lays down, and we'll go below
Em C
You can go anywhere, anywhere from here
G D
Go to the lighthouse honey, and just turn west from there

You can go anywhere, anywhere from here
G D
Go to the lighthouse honey, and you can meet me there
