EmOn and on and on and on the Gmiles stretch for hours
the Dradio keeps spitting out the Emtune
EmEvery other song is just Ganother tired rhythm
Danother tired lovers tune

Packed up my piano, and a suitcase full of clothes

and I went looking for a better place to hide

Ride across the border, in a broken down Sedan

with a bottle and a rifle on my mind

Em G

On and on and on and on the miles stretch for hours

D Em

the radio keeps spitting out the tune

Every other song is just another tired rhythm

another tired lovers tune

Through the ice and fog this morning the sun is coming up

I'm standing on the shores of the Hudson bay

Em G

Over glass fired violet, silence, silence

D Em

calling up the day

And every man is an island, an island

D Em

in his own special way

Em G

there's a white ghost out on the water, the water

with one good song and nothing else to say

[Chorus]

C G

It's a long long way back to Nashville
