Skyway

     D 
Well I was left driving late in the evening 
    G            A             D 
The sun had just split for the coast 
       D 
In the back they're all sleeping from hitting the wine 
    G           A               D 
But I was still straighter than most 



G                        A 
Watching the last of the clear purple twilight 
Bm                        C 
turning the road to blood wine 

 
D     C          G    Bb  D         C    G    Bb    D 
As we go rolling down the skyway 
D     C          G    Bb  D         C    G    Bb    D 
As we go rolling down the skyway 


 
      D 
Well me and my good friends we come a long way 
G           A           D 
Still got a long way to go 
  D 
Tonight I've been playing the songs in my head 
       G                A      D 
'Cause out here there's no radio 


 
    G                             A 
And out in the darkness there's a young girl awaiting 
      Bm                        C 
She's thumbing her way down the road 



D     C          G    Bb  D         C    G    Bb    D 
As we go rolling down the skyway 
D     C          G    Bb  D         C    G    Bb    D 
As we go rolling down the skyway 



       D 
I said Hi, toss your pack way up in the back 
G            A            D 
Sit down and ease up your load 
     D 
come sit here beside me and keep me awake 
    G       A             D 
And help me relate to the road 



G                      A 
She wasn't talking not smiling or nothing 
     Bm                          C 
So I reached in the back for the wine 



D     C          G    Bb  D         C    G    Bb    D 
As we go rolling down the skyway 
D     C          G    Bb  D         C    G    Bb    D 
As we go rolling down the skyway 



        D 
Well my hands got unsteady, 'cause I wasn't ready 
     G           A          D 
For something as foolish as this 
     D 
Some teenaged Madonna who hitched from Toront-a 
       G                A          D 
With a mouth that ain't never been kissed 


 
    G                      A 
And then she was talking a voice dressed in muslin 
Bm                   C 
Words like razors in bread 


 
D     C          G    Bb  D         C    G    Bb    D 
As we go rolling down the skyway 
D     C          G    Bb  D         C    G    Bb    D 
As we go rolling down the skyway 



      C                 G            Bb           D 
She's talking 'bout the space that's come between us 
     C       G       Bb    D 
(As we come rolling down) 
      C                 G       Bb          D 
She's talking 'bout the boat we all have to row 
     C       G       Bb    D 
(As we come rolling down) 
      C                 G            Bb       D 
She's talking 'bout the friend she's found in Jesus 
     C       G       Bb    D 
(As we come rolling down) 
      C                 G      Bb          D 
She's talking 'bout how far we all have to go 
     C     G           Bb 
How far we all have to go 


D     C          G    Bb 
As we go rolling down 
D     C          G    Bb 
As we go rolling down 
D     C          G    Bb  D 
As we go rolling down the skyway
