[Intro]

G Em C G

[Verse]

There's a freight train roaring through the dead of night

Heading straight for Yuma

C G

I hear it every time it rolls through this town

It's one a.m. and I'm wide awake

Too hot for sleeping

C G

Those wheels keep spinning 'round and 'round

Wheels keep spinning 'round and 'round

Me and that train covered lot of ground

I wish I may, I wish I might

It's gonna be another long hot night

[Bridge]

G Em C G

[Verse]

Trucks are flying up and down I-10

I can hear them in the distance

C G

Tired drivers trying to beat the heat

We used to drive with the headlights out

Moonlight on the highway

C G

You were sleeping with your head in my lap

Life don't get much better than that

Hubcaps spinning in the light

It's gonna be another long hot night

[Bridge]

D C G

How'd I let it get to be so wrong?

D C G

The days roll by but the nights drag on

Trying to find a way to get on track

Em C G

But I'm spinning wheels, looking back

Em C G

I'm just spinning wheels, looking back

[Solo]

D C G

[Verse]

Shots ring out in the middle of a dream

Car tires squealing

C G

For a moment I wonder where I am

I'm right here in this little hot house

With no one beside me

I'm listening to the wobble of the ceiling fan

I wish I were a better man

C G

Gonna keep trying till I get it right

It's gonna be another long hot night

[Bridge]
