[Intro]
G   A7 C F  G   F G  F
[Verse 1]
It's an Ceight hour drive Fup to SomervilCleF  
To SomervilCle
To SomervilGle
I got a Cbig cup of coffee and a Fbottle of little white CpillsF  
Little white Am7pills
Little white Gpills
[Verse 2]
I turn the Cradio up, I Fjust want to hear the CsoundF  
Of someone's Cvoice
Someone's Gvoice
Mr. State CTrooper, Fplease don't stop me CnowF  
I can't slow Am7down 
I got no Gchoice
[Verse 3]
I come flying o'er the CDelaware and aFcross the Tappan CZee
Wondering Fwhat I got to do Cto make you reconsider Gme
Well, Honey, Cdon't turn me back from Fyour door
I come Call the Dmway from FBaltimoreC  
[Verse 4]
I got a Cpawn shop ring and a Fyellow rose bouCquetF  
Honey, that I Cbought
In a cheap truck Gstop
Hardly Cseems enough to Fprove to you I've CchangedF  
Well, maybe it Am7ain't 
But it's all I Ggot
[Verse 5]
I know you've had all the Cheartache you can Ftake from Cme
So I Fwon't make no exCcuses for the fool I used to Gbe
Well, Honey, Cdon't turn me back from Fyour door
I come Call the Dmway from FBaltimoreC  
]Instrumental]

[Verse 6]
It's an Ceight hour drive, but I Fdid it in CsixF  
Oh, I did it in Csix
Yeah, I did it in Gsix
There was a Ctime I thought I could Flive without your CkissF  
Now I ain't aAm7shamed
To let you see me like Gthis
[Verse 7]
Like a moth circling 'Cround your Ffront porch Clight
Like a Fship out on the Cocean, to a beacon in the Gnight
Ah, Baby I Cmade G/Bmy  Amway Cto your Fdoor
And I come Gall the Dmway from FBaltimoreC  
And I come Gall the Dmway from FBaltimoreC  
And I come Gall the Dmway from FBaltimoreC
