Driving across country with Aair on, it was fine

Been living too Along in that one room shack
Just living too damn Emlong
Woke up last night in a cold sweat Athinking
It was time to be EmgoneD

He was a Embastard, to say it
And he Cwasn't even very GtallD

She was nowhere to be Emfound
Went around town Aasking folks
If she'd been put in the Emground

People'd heard of Earle's Gquiet, dirty pains
And the Dsadness in his eyes and the Emhunger in his veins
She'd Dgone through a wind, but came Emin with the rainD

INTRO:

Driving across Nebraska with my southern sin

Was cruising real nice and slow

Driving across country with air on, it was fine

There was no place that he'd rather go

Been living too long in that one room shack

Just living too damn long

Woke up last night in a cold sweat thinking

Em D

It was time to be gone

CHORUS 1:

G C

No more friends behind him now

G D

And any more in front

He was a bastard, to say it

C G D

And he wasn't even very tall

CHORUS 2:

G C

No more friends behind him now

G D

And any more in front

He was a bastard, to say it

C G

And I guess that he didn't know

Em A Em A Em

Went around town asking folks

If she'd been put in the ground
