"Prayer for the Road"
Eli Young Band
10,000 Towns (2014)
C   G   Am   F
I found it Foutside of CBirmingham Gheaded to another Amplace
Took me Ffive hundred Cmiles to get to the Gbottom of my suitCcase
It was Fin between a Cpair of jeans and my Gold black winter Amcoat
FIt took my Cbreath away when I Gread what she Cwrote
CMay the wheels keep turning, Gget you where you need to go
AmI'll keep the porch light burning F'til you get back home
CMay the angels fly beside you, Gdown every mile you roll
AmMay heaven hear this prayer, Fprayer for the road
C   G   Am   F
FAs much as she Cmisses me, she Gfound the words to Amwrite
FEnough to Ckeep me warm on a Gcold December Cnight
And when I'm Frunning on Cempty Gand I'm feeling Amlost
FI can hear her Cvoice, Gwhispering to CGod
CMay the wheels keep turning, Gget you where you need to go
AmI'll keep the porch light burning F'til you get back home
CMay the angels fly beside you, Gdown every mile you roll
AmMay heaven hear this prayer, Fprayer for the road
C   G   Am   F
DmMust have read that note at lCeast a thousand tGimes
DmIt always takes me where the Fhighway meets the Gsky
CMay the wheels keep turning, Gget you where you need to go
AmI'll keep the porch light burning F'til you get back home
CMay the angels fly beside you, Gdown every mile you roll
AmMay heaven hear this prayer, Fprayer for the road
C   G   Am   F

C G Am F

F C G Am

I found it outside of Birmingham headed to another place

F C G C

Took me five hundred miles to get to the bottom of my suitcase

F C G Am

It was in between a pair of jeans and my old black winter coat

F C G C

It took my breath away when I read what she wrote

C G

May the wheels keep turning, get you where you need to go

Am F

I'll keep the porch light burning 'til you get back home

C G

May the angels fly beside you, down every mile you roll

Am F

May heaven hear this prayer, prayer for the road

C G Am F

F C G Am

As much as she misses me, she found the words to write

F C G C

Enough to keep me warm on a cold December night

F C G Am

And when I'm running on empty and I'm feeling lost

F C G C

I can hear her voice, whispering to God

C G

May the wheels keep turning, get you where you need to go

Am F

I'll keep the porch light burning 'til you get back home

C G

May the angels fly beside you, down every mile you roll

Am F

May heaven hear this prayer, prayer for the road

C G Am F

Dm C G

Must have read that note at least a thousand times

Dm F G

It always takes me where the highway meets the sky

C G

May the wheels keep turning, get you where you need to go

Am F

I'll keep the porch light burning 'til you get back home

C G

May the angels fly beside you, down every mile you roll

Am F

May heaven hear this prayer, prayer for the road

C G Am F
