Verse 1
[D]Walkin down Main Street, gettin' to [G]know the concrete
Lookin for a [A]purpose from a neon [D]sign.
I would meet you anywhere western [G]sun meets the air
I'll hit the [A]road, never lookin' [D]behind.
Chorus
[D]Can you deny, there's nothin' [Em]greater
nothin' [G]more than travelin' hands [D]of time
St. Genevieve can hold back the [Em]water,
but saints don't [A]bother with a tear stained [D]eye.
Banjo Solo

Verse 2
[D]Seein' traces of the [G]scars that came before
hittin the [A]pavement, still askin' for [D]more
when the hours don't move along, worn-out [G]wood and familiar songs
To hear your [A]voice is not enough, is [D]more than a shame.
Chorus
[D]Can you deny, there's nothin' [Em]greater
nothin' [G]more than travelin' hands [D]of time

but saints don't [A]bother with a tear stained [D]eye.

Verse 3
[D]Like a man said, rode [G]hard and put away wet
throw away the [A]bad news and put it to [D]rest
If learnin' is livin', and the [G]truth is a state of mind
you'll [A]find it's better at the end of the [D]line.
Chorus
[D]Can you deny, there's nothin' [Em]greater

St. Genevieve can hold back the [Em]water,
but saints don't [A]bother with a tear stained [D]eye.
