Verse
Come on [Dm]baby, let's get out of this town[Cadd9]
I got a [Dm]full tank of gas with the [Cadd9]top rolled down
There's a [Bb]chill in my bones, I don't want to [Am]be left [F]alone
so [Bb]baby you can [F]sleep while I drive[Cadd9]
I'll pack my [Dm]bag and load up my [Cadd9]guitar
In my [Dm]pocket I'll carry my harp[Cadd9]
I got some [Bb]money, I've saved enough to [Am]get [F]underway
and [Bb]baby you can [F]sleep while I drive[Cadd9]
Verse
We'll go through [Dm]Tucson up to Santa Fe[Cadd9]
and [Dm]Barb'ra in Nashville says we're [Cadd9]welcome to stay
I'll buy you [Bb]glasses in Texas, a hat [Am]from New [F]Orleans
and in the [Bb]morning you can [F]tell me your dreams[Cadd9]
You know I've [G7]seen it before, this mist that [F]covers your [C]eyes
You've been [G7]looking for something that's [F]not in your [C]life
My [Bb]intentions are true, won't you [Am]take me with [F]you?
and [Bb]baby you can [F]sleep while I drive[Cadd9]

Can't you [Am]get that with [F]me?
Come on [Dm]baby, let's get out of this [Cadd9]town
I've got a [Dm]full tank of gas with the [Cadd9]top rolled down
If you won't [Bb]take me with you, I'll go [Am]before night is [F]through
And [Bb]baby you can [F]sleep while I drive[Cadd9]
