Bridge

C A♯ G

GAnother morning another motel bed

Another city waiting up ahead

FLight another mCenthol to clear my Gmind

Those memories I pretend to forget

'Cause I always wanna live without regrets but

FYeah I still think of her Cfrom time to tGime

FIs she still livin' Cacross the Harlan coGunty line

Now when we met we were both livin' far from home

Tryin' to get by and tired of being alone

For a moment, I thought she was mine

Cause she had a voice I just wanted to believe

She said her mother was full-blood Cherokee

And her daddy was a union man down in the mines

Fightin the good fight cross the Harlan county line

[Bridge X 4]

People can be noble and people can be cruel

They'll make you president or they'll make you a fool but

She always treated me nice and kind

Until that day she left me on my own

Said there was trouble she had to handle back home

Then she gave me her number and said "call anytime"

If I ever made it cross the Harlan county line

[Bridge X 4]

Now the years disappear out on the highway

And I lost her number somewhere along the way

So I'll say a little prayer that she's doin' fine

Another morning another motel bed

Another city waiting up ahead

And another small memory to leave behind

Somewhere cross the Harlan county line

Cross the Harlan county line
