G       Am                     C 
Driving around in our parents' cars 
                Em                G 
To the same old places we used to walk to 
             Am                C 
When we lose track of where we are 
        Em                G 
All the trees are nice to talk to 

Am 

G       Am                 C 
Sitting around at Murphy's place 
          Em              G 
Scrambled eggs and silver dollars 
       Am              C 
Naming bottles off the shelf 
          Em               G 
Closed my eyes and now I'm taller 

Am C

Oh, won't you take me back to Virginia Highlands? 
                      C 
Where I get high with my friends 
                    G 
When will I see you again?

  G    Am              C 
Rudy's stoking the fireplace 
          D               G 
Pause the TV cause dad is talking 
        Am                C 
All the love fills up the space 
            Em                G 
And all the laughing turns to yawning

When my family hits the hay 
      Em                     G 
Futurebirds for the midnight driving 
      Am                  C 
Up to Athens to catch the game 
        Em          G Am C 
Will it ever be the same?

I won't forget those old Druid Hills 
Am                  C       G 
And I can't seem to wait anymore 
        D     C          G 
Oh, I'm tired of missing home

And sometimes resting my heavy eyelids 
                       Am 
I see the street where I lived 
C                 G 
A thousand miles away
