DIts 4 a.m., I'm hAeaded North sGtraight up 6D5
I Gcouldn't sleep a Dwink last night,
so AI just had to Ddrive
I Dknow I'm gonna to Asee you
when I Gget to LouisDville
Only Gproblem is, I Djust don't know Ahow you're gonna Dfeel
That Dcold Kentucky Arain is pourin' Gfrom my raDdio
While the Gvoice inside my Dhead is screamin'
I Ajust gotta kDnow
Could this Dbe our reAsurrection,
Could it Gbe a brand new Dstart?
GOr the nail in the Dcoffin that Aholds our broken Dhearts?
Is it Gdead Aor Dalive?
GToo for gone, or can it Abe reviDved?
DDid I Akill it, or Gdoes a little D/F#love surEmvive?
Is it Gdead Aor Dalive?
Well I Dkeep my eyes Astraight ahead,
BeGtween these two white Dlines
While my Gmind is in the Dreview mirror,
ALookin' back in Dtime
DI'm haunted by the Amemories of Ghow I let us Ddown
GCan we patch it Dup,
Or should we Aput our love in the Dground?
Is it Gdead Aor Dalive?
GToo for gone, or can it Abe reviDved?
DDid I Akill it, or Gdoes a little D/F#love surEmvive?
Is it Gdead Aor Dalive?
[Bridge]
D Em G A D
DTheres one thing I nAever said,
I Gshoulda said to Dyou
I Ghope its not too lDate to let yAou how much I dDo
DI just pray you Ahaven't laid your
Glove for me to Drest
GAnother couple of Dmiles of road,
And AI wont have to gDuess, if its
Is it Gdead Aor Dalive?
GToo for gone, or can it Abe reviDved?
DDid I Akill it, or Gdoes a little D/F#love surEmvive?
Is it Gdead Aor Dalive?
