Wide Afternoon
Max Stalling
To play along with the CD, capo at the 2nd fret.
[Intro]   
G  C  D  G
GCarolina highway, past boroughs and pine breaksC  
The roGad's long behind me, every signpost reminds meD  
GMy eyes have grown heavy, my wheels drone on steadyC  
GIn the heat of the wCide, the heat of the Dwide, the wGide afternoon.
[Chorus]
DI've been here forever, my Cwhole life at Gleast.Em  
AmTrapped between morning's Doptimism and night's fleeting dreams.
GHere where it matters, where reality loomsC  
GIn the heat of the wCide, the heat of the Dwide, the wide aGfternoon.
GThis road was a drug when I started Cway back
Each hill that I killed was like a Gpill that I took to Drelax.
GTill the peace in the valleys, got a lCittle too peaceful
All the ridges I?ve Grun and all that I?ve Ddone
has left me with Geyes full.
GEyes full of the worst, eyes fCull of the best
Eyes full of the tireGdness that won't let me rDest.
GAll the places I go to, no place is Cbrand new
GIn the heat of the wiCde, the heat of the Dwide, the wide Gafternoon.
[Chorus]
DI've been here forever, my Cwhole life at Gleast.Em  
AmTrapped between morning's Doptimism and night's fleeting dreams.
GHere where it matters, where reality loomsC  
GIn the heat of the wCide, the heat of the Dwide, the wide aGfternoon.
GThis road was a drug when I started Cway back
[Solo]
GSome people sit still, some Cpeople go fast
GSome go right to it, some never get Dpast
GLaying a map out, they don?t plan Cjust assume.
GAnd wind up forever in the Dheat of the wide, the wide Gafternoon.
[Chorus]
GHere where it matters, where Creality looms
In the Gheat of the wCide, the heat of the Dwide, the wide aGfternoon.
[Outro]
