Heard the wor[C/G]d from Brenda Lee[G/B]
You were coming h[Am7/G]ome she said
Cross my heart I could not believe it
Holy hell you could have struck me dead but
[C/G] Three cheers for the [G/B]grapevine what
Told me you were coming [Am7/G]home
Let’s see where the night takes us
Let’s see where the night goes
[C/G] [G/B] [Am7/G]
[C/G] I admit it’s been [G/B]slow going
You pay your bills and [Am7/G]still they own you
You know the way with best laid plans
Still this is me and that’s who I am now
[C/G] I make the rounds and [G/B]pay my dues
Meet up with friends and I [Am7/G]dream about you
It isn’t much but it’s still a lot
Sometimes honey I still get lost
In those [C/G]long nights, [G/B]old cars
Backroads and the [Am7/G]boneyards, you
Drop the pedal like a holy roller
Sheriff of hell couldn’t pull you over
[C/G]Tough girl from a [G/B]bad town
Brought up not to [Am7/G]stay down
Sweet tea white lightning
Breaking hearts and not minding
[C/G]Come on in it’s so [C/B]good to see ya
It’s been so long I [Am7/G]know I know I
Let’s see where the night takes us
Let’s see where the night goes
[C/G] [G/B] [Am7/G]
[C/G] [G/B] [Am7/G]
[C/G] Last I saw you was a'[G/B]greyhound waiting
You said don’t be sad and [Am7/G]don’t be blue
LA is not the destination
Still I believe that I must pass through
[C/G] I saw your face from a t[G/B]ime to time
Now you’re coming [Am7/G]home
Let’s see where the night takes us
Let’s see where the night goes
[C/G] Only the lonely know the[G/B] way I’m feelin’
Only the living go to the [Am7/G]graveyard grieving
Still we’re alive and you’re astounding
Feel the pulse of the world pounding
[C/G] Feel the pull of the [G/B]American darkness
The mountains the rivers the [Am7/G]fields at harvest
It’s all we have and that’s a lot
Come on honey let’s get lost
In a [C/G]long night, o[G/B]ld car
Backroads and the [Am7/G]boneyards, you
Drop the pedal like a holy roller
Sheriff of hell couldn’t pull you over
[C/G]Tough girl from a b[G/B]ad town
Brought up not to [Am7/G]stay down
Sweet tea white lightning
Breaking hearts and not minding
[C/G]Come on in it’s so go[C/B]od to see ya
It’s been so long I [Am7/G]know I know I
Let’s see where the night takes us
Let’s see where the night goes?
In a [C/G]long night, o[G/B]ld car
Backroads and the [Am7/G]boneyards, you
Drop the pedal like a holy roller
Sheriff of hell couldn’t pull you over
[C/G]Tough girl from a b[G/B]ad town
Brought up not to [Am7/G]stay down
Sweet tea white lightning
Breaking hearts and not minding
[C/G]Come on in it’s so go[C/B]od to see ya
It’s been so long I [Am7/G]know I know I
Let’s see where the night takes us
Let’s see where the night goes
[C/G] [G/B] [Am7/G]
A lon[C/G]g night,
The ol[G/B]d car
The backroads
And the [Am7/G]boneyards
