intro strummin' G
Out on the Trans-Canada highway
C
there was a girl hitchhikin' with a dog
D
fireflies buzzin' 'round her head
G
like candles in a fog
He was three miles down the road
C
tryin' to stay up but he knew that he couldn't
D
she was looking for a ride through the night
G
but out there who wouldn't
Am
There were bound for glory, bound for livin' on the edge
D
they were bound for each other
G
like two comets headin' for a bed
Am
She had a new way of livin, new way of lookin' at life
D
he had an '84 International and two kids
C G
he left back home with his wife
(waylon sings-same chords)
He was tired of writing letters to himself
and living in the dark
She was open to suggestions
and some say she had a broken heart
He had everything he wanted
till it all turned out to be a job
One fallen asleep trucker
and a girl hitchhikin' with a dog
(same as previous chorus)
There were bound for glory, bound for livin' on the edge
they were bound for each other,
like two comets headin' for a bed
She had a new way of livin, new way of lookin' at life
he had an '84 International and two kids
he left back home with his wife
(Go up a full step to A)
A
Out on the Trans-Canada highway
D
the sun cam climbin' up the cab
E
by the time it hit the window
A
they were waking up from what little sleep they had
When that heat hit the blankets
D
They were looking for love at second sight
E
Just starin' in each other's eyes
A
findin' it in the morning light
Bm
There were bound for glory, bound for livin' on the edge
E
they were bound for each other,
A
like two blankets laying on a bed
Bm
She had a new way of livin, new way of lookin' at life
E
he had an '84 International and two kids
D A
he left back home with his wife
