Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Got caught up in a breakaway dream

 Destination city of New Orleans

Cheap motels and big rig swells

 Crossing bridges for eternity

[D}Headed west for a two week stand

 Saw the poets of workaday glasses

 Las Cruces is a part of you now

 Desert birds sing songs of laughter

 Still out there with the coffee stains

 And putting miles on shoes

 Can't escape the smell of cigarettes

 Still living out these American late night blues

Intro again

Best to clear the mind

 With a Mexicali radio station

Keep an eye out for the border patrol

 Checking for drugs and so called aliens

Highways and dreams forever together

 In the minds of the free and the innocent

Always a future in the traveler's hands

 Starting fires on the river of madness

 Still out there with the coffee stains

 And putting miles on shoes

 Can't escape the smell of cigarettes

 Still living out these American late night blues

Intro again

 Still out there with the coffee stains

 And putting miles on shoes

 Can't escape the smell of cigarettes

 Still living out these American late night blues

Intro again to end the song on D
